- Creates DOS bootable USB drives, using FreeDOS or MS-DOS with no external files required
- Creates MBR or GPT/UEFI bootable drives
- Creates bootable drives from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.)

- Modern and familiar UI, with more than 30 languages natively supported (2)
- Small footprint, no installation required
- 100% Free Software (GPL v3)

Compilation:
  Use either Visual Studio 2013, WDK 7.1 (Windows Driver Kit) or MinGW and then
  invoke the .sln, wdk_build.cmd or configure/make respectively.

  Note that, since Rufus is an OSI compliant Open Source project, you are entitled to
  download and use the *freely available* Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition to
  build, run or develop for Rufus. As per the Visual Studio Community Edition license
  this applies regardless of whether you are an individual or a corporate user.
