Rufus is a portable program (doesn't install), works on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, and will 'burn' an ISO image file to any type of USB storage device you happen to have. Be sure to choose Rufus Portable on their site. How to apply ISO image file to USB Flash Media Drive. Download Rufus Portable (or the regular version – as you want) from the main page or from All version Rufus Downloads.

During extraction of data from an image file, a CD, DVD. HD, Flash drive etc. one can get errors. It's not what you want ... but it can happen. In case of an image file the reason is mostly that the data seems so garbled that no sensible data can be derived anymore, or when the end of the file is reached. In case of hard media it's the drive that returned an error. In that case NO data was returned.
If an errors occurs, IsoBuster offers several options, depending on the way how the extraction is done.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting files and folders. It offers you the choice to RETRY reading the sector, IGNORE the sector (no substituting data will be written for the missing sector) or to QUIT extracting altogether. The option 'Ignore All' will make sure you're not prompted again during extraction and all erroneous sectors will be omitted. Depending on the situation you may need to renew the 'Ignore All' request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting data (from various media or an image file) to an image file, but only the user data portion. It offers you to RETRY reading the sector, apply an option from the SELECTION window or to QUIT. The possible selections are :
OMMIT data which means no substituting data will be written for the erroneous sector (this is the least likely option you would need),
REPLACE with all zeroes which means the sector size will be written but containing zeroes only,
REPLACE with dummy data which means the sector size will be written with data different from zeroes.
The selection making most sense will be selected by default. Click the check box 'Always apply selection' when you do not want to be prompted again during extraction. Depending on the situation you may need to renew this request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting data to an image file, from CD and raw. It offers you to RETRY reading the sector, apply an option from the SELECTION window or to QUIT. The possible selections are :
OMMIT data which means no substituting data will be written for the erroneous sector (this is the least likely option you would need),
REPLACE with all zeroes which means the sector size will be written but containing zeroes only,
REPLACE with user data all zeroes means that the replaced raw block will contain raw data completely according to the CD standard (sync bytes, header, sub headers, EDC/ECC etc.) but with User data containing all zeroes.
REPLACE with erroneous sector means that the replaced raw block will NOT contain raw data according to the CD standard so that a copy tool will recreate the errors (e.g. some programs require errors on the CD).
The selection making most sense will be selected by default. Click the check box 'Always apply selection' when you do not want to be prompted again during extraction. Depending on the situation you may need to renew this request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.

Iso Extraction Failure Rufus

Rufus iso image extraction failure windows 7

Found myself in a bit of a pickle yesterday. Downloaded the 1803 ISO using the Windows ISO Download Tool from HeiDoc.Net. Quickly learned that it includes 13 different Windows 10 images (see below). After I used Rufus 3.0 to build a bootable installer, for some odd reason it installed the first image. Athough an OS pick window should appear, none did. Instead, it installed Windows 10 Home. I fixed that by upgrading Home to Windows 10 Pro. But I also wanted to learn how to extract the right image from a portmanteau ISO. That’s how I learned that DISM Export-Image grabs selected image installer, easily used to update the bootable USB Flash Drive (UFD) that Rufus built.

Notice that Windows 10 Home appears in first place, but Windows 10 Pro in sixth (Index:6).

Use DISM Mount-Image Grabs Selected Image Installer to Build Bootable UFD

Once I figured out that I needed the Windows Pro image from position 6 in the 1803 ISO file, I needed to do two things. First, I needed to access the install.wim file I wanted. And second, I needed to copy that image onto my prepared UFD. Both things turn out to be fairly easy.

Use DISM Export-Image to Make Its Files Accessible

This particular DISM command exports a specific image standalone. As already noted, I wanted the image with Index 6. On my system, the ISO file named Win10_1803_English_x64.iso lives in L:MSDN. To access its WIM file, I simply mount the ISO. To do that, right-click the ISO file in File Explorer and select Mount from the resulting pop-up menu. (If that doesn’t work, click “Open with” and select File Explorer from the list of applications.)

On my system, the mounted image shows up as drive M. The file I’m after takes this specification: M:Sourcesinstall.wim. In my case, I created a folder named WIMTest on the I: drive to receive the desired install.wim file.

Here’s the syntax for my system, which I’ll explain in generic form, too:
DISM /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:'M:Sourcesinstall.wim' /SourceIndex:6
/DestinationImageFile:'I:WIMTestinstall.wim'

Note: Even though this line breaks in this blog post, it’s actually a single instruction and should be entered as such in PowerShell or Cmd.exe.

Now, let’s explore the DISM command elements involved.

/Export-Image: Tells DISM to export the designated image file.

/SourceImageFile:'MSourcesinstall.wim': identifies the windows image file from which the chosen image is exported.

/Index:6: identifies the index or position of a specific image file in the overall sequence (6, in this case) for export.

/DestinationImageFile:'I:WIMTestinstall.wim': identifies the file for the exported image.

Copy the Result File Over the Old Image File

The Rufus-created UFD has the drive letter O: on my system (YMMV, replace accordingly). All I had to do now was to over-write the old install.wim in the O:Sources folder with the newly-exported install.wim from the I:WIMTest folder. Now, booting the installer automatically installs Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 Home. Of course, even though my system is installed the UFD is useful for repairs, too. Problem solved!
