Bootice is a Windows software for creating bootable media. This application enables reinstalling the OS on devices without an optical drive. In addition, the utility offers you to burn an image to a flash drive and add entries to the boot menu.

Burning Images

The software does not require installation on your PC. All you have to do is run the executable file and navigate to the Physical disk tab. Then, you can select the flash drive from the list. The application facilitates formatting the storage device and selecting the file system type. There are also tools for partition management and a built-in hexadecimal editor.

Next step is specifying the path to the disk image. Bootice supports formats such as ING, IMA, VHD, VHDX, and VMDK. Afterward, it is possible to burn data to the flash drive. During the creation of the bootable media, it is advisable not to disconnect it from the computer.
