Solved How do I extract an ISO running UltraISO?

Hello,
UltraISO v9.7.6.3829
Macrium Reflect 8 Home v8.1.7401

How do I extract an ISO and make it a bootable USB Stick?
(Trying other method to extract MacriumRescue.iso to an USB stick)

Thanks

What is your end goal? Macrium can make the stick for you.

Ignore UltraISO and open Macrium Reflect.

In Macrium, in the top left, go to "Other Tasks" and select "Create Rescue Media...". If it asks to update allow it to do so. Once the update is done, select the USB drive in the list and click "Build" for it to do what you're looking for.

Or here...





Also... might want to check out AnyBurn... it can do the stuff UltraISO does... a lot easier. IMO.

Which format for an USB Stick or all the formats works?
Thanks

When you go to create the media, it will tell you what format to use and if the drive is already in that format. If the drive is in an incompatible format, it will offer you the option to format it correctly and do so as part of the build process.

Macrium Reflect will do all that for you with no help.
I believe it chooses FAT32.

Simple... just put a USB stick in a USB port somewhere, and just do what is shown in the picture above.
Macrium Reflect made it so simple... even I can do it.
If you have a 3rd party firewall, you may have to allow: rmbuilder.exe so Macrium can build the USB stick.
C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect\rmbuilder.exe

After you create the Macrium Rescue Media USB stick, test it to make sure you can boot from it.
Restart the computer... hit the F12 key (Gigabyte motherboards), a few times to access the Boot Menu.
Then choose the USB stick to boot from.
You may have TWO options... UEFI-USB... and just plain USB...
If one doesn't work... try the other.


That picture guide I linked in post #4, has just about everything you need, to get started with Macrium Reflect and a few extra goodies as well.










I also linked AnyBurn in that post.
I used to use UltraISO, PowerISO, etc. AnyBurn is a LOT simpler.
Like you mentioned making an ISO "image" from files... it's one click in AnyBurn...

I always use exFAT. Helps with not messing up file permissions when using the stick on another computer.

Also see this guide to partition that USB stick into two partitions, one as the bootable sector and the other as backup partition in case you had a large USB that can accommodate your data.

A Macrium rescue drive is a WinPE/RE bootable drive. For any such ISO, including Windows install media, it's simply a matter of mounting the ISO and copying all the files and folders to a Fat32 partition on the USB stick. This should then be bootable in UEFI mode. If you want it to also be bootable in Legacy MBR mode then in addition you need to mark the partition as Active.

Macrium Reflect can of course make the USB directly, as others have already said. But there are times when it can be convenient to make a USB from an ISO. All my Windows install USB's are made that way, I use the MCT to create an ISO then make as many USBs from it as I need.
