There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use). In this scenario, users will need to reformat the UFD in order to access the rest of the storage space.įreeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. For example, if a 2GB image is copied to an 8GB USB Flash Drive, the drive will only be able to use two out of the eight gigabytes of storage space. Note: Due to the forensic nature of image duplication by ImageUSB, please ensure that you select UFDs with a storage size similar to the image you wish to duplicate. As of V1.5, the app now supports the extraction of ISO contents onto USB Drive. A reformat can recover the drive, however. So the direct imaging of ISO9660, Joliet, or UDF file system, from a CD to a USB drive, might not allow the USB drive to function in all operating systems. In addition, It has the ability to reformat even hard to format drives and reclaim any disk space that may be lost previously.ĬD ISO images use different file systems compared to USB drives. Or alternatively to just Zero the MBR and/or GPT entries that exist on the drive. This will replace the contents of the entire drive with 0s. PassMark ImageUSB includes functionality to Zero a USB Flash Drive. It can perform flawless mass duplications of all UFD images, including bootable UFDs.

Unlike other USB duplication tools, Image USB app can preserve all unused and slack space during the cloning process, including the Master Boot Record (MBR).

The app can also be used to install OSFClone to a USB Drive for use with PassMark OSForensics. It also supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to a USB drive (*).

Capable of creating exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drive (UFDs), ImageUSB is an extremely effective tool for the mass duplication of UFDs. ImageUSB is a free utility that lets you write an image concurrently to multiple USB Flash Drives.
