Mar 29, 2022 · My goal is to leave the USB drive completely empty so that nothing can contaminate the evidence I will soon bit-by-bit copy to it, using FTK imager. Can someone just confirm for me the best way to achieve this reliably and in accordance with the ACPO guidelines. Thank you very much. If this is the wrong place to ask forgive me, I'm new here.

May 28, 2022 · If your drive is large enough use Ventoy to make it bootable and allows you to add what ever iso you want (Linux, Windows, WinPE). I also moved away from traditional USB thumb drives and now use a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 external enclosure with NVMe drive. As for a WinPE I use Gandalf Gandalf's Windows 10PE

May 19, 2019 · I can't find a software solution for this to create iso file from bootable USB drive to create software image (ISO) of bootable USB Any advice would be much appreciated. I am running windows 10 USB 3.0 I want to copy data from bootable USB to create ISO file, not something else.

Jul 22, 2023 · I don't mess around with Ventoy. Although some folks like it. On Windows the best tool for bootable USB stick creation with a single ISO, IMHO, is Rufus ==> https://rufus.ie/en/ Rufus, is free, easy to use, and has worked with every Linux ISO I tried as well as every Windows ISO from Windows 7 onward.

Sep 14, 2021 · For example, Raspbian comes with a tool to make a duplicate USB image of itself onto a USB, from which you can boot a second pi off it. And it works, definitely done it before. I'm just thinking more along the lines of something command-line, easily streamlined, and can make compact images to later be restored.

May 10, 2021 · First, personal preference, but instead of FTK imager, I’d boot the subject PC to a USB drive running CAINE and image using Guymager. If that’s not possible, then yeah: Remove hard drive -> connect to write blocker then computer …

Jul 2, 2022 · Yes, Sadly USB My USB is 256GB and I need to image a company computer with a image in .iso format. This iso is 26.7 GB in size. I reformated the USB to exfat .

Feb 2, 2023 · Then Pi Imager software, or Balena Etcher for flashing. They make a small ext3/ext4 partition for some shit or other, the bulk files are dumped in the FAT32 partition & organised to suit. And finally, configure the Pi4 to boot from USB in raspi-config.

Jul 16, 2023 · Rufus has been my go-to USB imager for quite a while. Yet for some reason when I try to create a PopOS 22.04 USB installer, my only possible choice is MBR. The GPT option is completely unavailable, even though my PC is booted in UEFI mode with all existing disks being partitioned GPT.

Ventoy - makes a mini os USB that then boots other ISO files or other disk images which can be on the Usb or NOT. Most flexible tool of the bunch. Well worth learning about. Other Direct imaging tools, dd and the various disk writer tools most distros have do the same job. Basically making an identical usb as balena etcher would write.
