About ImageUSB
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 also
supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to an USB drive (*).
ImageUSB can also be used to install OSFClone to a USB Drive for use with
PassMark OSForensics™.
Unlike other USB duplication tools, ImageUSB can preserve all unused and slack
space during the cloning process, including the Master Boot Record (MBR).
ImageUSB can perform flawless mass duplications of all UFD images, including
bootable UFDs.
imageUSB includes functionality to Zero a USB Flash Drive. This will replace the
contents of the entire drive with 0s. Or alternatively to just Zero the MBR
and/or GPT entries that exists on the drive. In addition, imageUSB has the
ability to reformat even hard to format drives and reclaim any disk space that
may be lost previously.
(*) CD ISO images use a different file systems compared to USB drives. 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. A reformat
can recover the drive however. As of V1.5, imageUSB now supports extraction of
ISO contents onto USB Drive.
Warning: 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. 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. In this scenario, users will need to reformat the UFD in order to
access the rest of the storage space.
