That's why we are going to go with NOT RECOMMENDING this program. But wait, other reviews said it didn't? Many exploitive programs like these will fabricate positive reviews to trick people into trusting them. One of the first links a Google search brings up is After searching for reviews, at least one site noted that the program seemed to install malware/adware/unauthorized files on systems. Remember that just because something is the first search result doesn't mean it's the best. The Top 10 results are for utilities to help you do it or online tutorials to walk you through the process. Tens of millions to hundreds of millions of results. Searching for the terms "iso to USB flash drive," "iso to USB," and "iso to USB bootable" brings up a lot of online results. If your wedding/child's birth/industry convention keynote speaker's video are on a DVD and you'd like to share those on USB, we can do that transfer too.** We can upload your OS onto backup thumb drives for your entire office or IT team. If you don't want to bother with any of this - we offer USBs with preload data. As you upgrade your home or office computers, transferring those onto USB before buying a new machine (potentially without an optical drive or to avoid buying an external drive) is probably a good idea. You may also have photos, music, video, and other media saved on ISO/CDs you'd like to keep accessible.

It's a good idea to create a bootable USB when your computer is healthy so you don't have a meltdown if it happens later. While most system upgrades are now offered as downloads from the internet, if you can't get your computer to boot or your optical drive to spin, you certainly can't download the OS. That means you can reboot your system from the USB or even make a copy of your Windows, Mac, or Linux (hello there, Ubuntu) OS for use on other computers. The most common reason to transfer data from a CD/ISO to a USB drive is to make the USB bootable a live USB. While they were a huge upgrade from floppy discs, a flash drive with just 1 GB of storage can hold more data than the average CD. Just like the floppy disc disappeared because of its limited storage, the same is happening with CDs. There are a few reasons you'd want to do that, the first being that many laptop computers, in an effort to make them smaller and lighter, no longer come with optical (CD/DVD) drives. One technology question we hear is how to transfer ISO media data like an operating system burned onto an optical disc (CD/DVD) to a USB drive.
