Using the Conditional Free Ultraiso program is the easiest way to create a disk image on Windows. The whole process will take no more than five to ten minutes, and below we will tell you exactly how to do it.
What is needed to write a disk image via ultraiso?
To achieve the goal, it will be necessary at all. We will assume that you already have the files that you want to include in the image are ready for your hand, there is a suitable recording medium (both CD \\ DVD and almost any memory card), a drive for reading it and actually a program to start the process itself. If Ultraiso is not yet on your PC:
- swing it from the official site(there is a paid version and option with a free test period);
- install the standard for Windows in the way, specifying the key number or choosing time to familiarize yourself;
- we are waiting for messages about successfully completed installation;
- we launch the bout and go to the next point of instructions.
Step-by-step recording of the image of the media by Ultraiso
To proceed to the process itself:
- On the top panel, select the Tools tab. You click on it, select the "Create an Image CD" line from the list (or use hotkes F8).
- A new window appears in which you want to specify the right settings for writing the image. In the CD / DVD column, select the media from which you copy the image. And the item "Save As", respectively, indicates where to place the end file should be placed. The "output format" panel makes it possible to select the type of image - for example .iso, .nrg, .mds / mdf.
- Click on the "Make" button and run the process of creating an image from the finished media that will pass automatically.
Creating an image from a hard disk
This process is useful in order to back up and securely save important files.
- We assign the name to the future image. To do this, click the right mouse button by name near the image of the disk in the left central part of Ultraiso. Select the "Rename" option and enter the name.
- Select which files will add to the image. Using the conductor placed on the bottom and on the left of the main part of the program window, simply drag the files and folders to the right.
- Save the project to the image by clicking on the "File" menu -\u003e Save As. In a new window, choose the path to save, expand the finished image.
- The creation process will start, after which the program will notify you with the corresponding window. To check whether everything is performed correctly, we mount the image and check the presence of all files.
Ultraiso is not the only program that can quickly and simply record images on the PC. Alternatively, you can use free FREE DVD ISO Maker, ISODISK utilities, as well as the Windows command prompt.
