    Study Notes

    Portable Bootable Devices

    • Created according to software manufacturer instructions
    • Requires USB flash drive and software tools (e.g., Rufus, UNetbootin)
    • Manufacturer documentation needed for specific requirements
    • USB drive formatted and made bootable (e.g., DiskPart, graphical interfaces)
    • Software copied or installed onto the bootable device
    • Tested on various systems for functionality

    Customized Installers

    • Prepared based on software utilization guide and end-user agreement
    • Software utilization guide reviewed for correct configuration
    • Licensing agreement adhered to (modifications/installations restricted)
    • Installer package created to reflect customizations and maintain compatibility

    Installation of Portable Applications

    • Software user guide followed for correct installation
    • Licensing agreements validated across devices
    • Post-installation testing needed for correct functionality

    Creating a Bootable USB Drive Using Rufus

    • Download Rufus: Download latest version from rufus.ie (portable tool, no installation)
    • Insert USB Drive: Ensure sufficient storage (at least 8 GB), back up important data (data loss)
    • Open Rufus: Double-click the Rufus executable
    • Select USB Drive: Select the inserted USB device from the drop-down
    • Choose Boot Selection: Select "Disk or ISO image" and choose the ISO file to make bootable
    • Configure Settings:
      • Choose MBR or GPT partition scheme (MBR more compatible)
      • Select NTFS or FAT32 file system (FAT32 often sufficient)
      • Leave cluster size at default unless needed
      • Optionally enter a volume label
    • Start Process: Click "Start" (data loss warning)
    • Wait for Completion: Process time depends on file size and USB speed
    • Verify and Use: USB drive is ready, test it by booting from it or using on another device
