现在许多计算机没有cd-rom, 怎么安装光盘上的软件？答案是用 Rufus

前几天我就碰上过类似的问题。下载了微软窗口7操作系统，是ISO格式的文件。可计算机上的CD－RW光驱坏了，无法制作光盘。其实就是没坏，也不是谁家都有空白的光盘。

不过如今，谁家都有闪存盘（USB Flash Drive）. 把ISO文件转换到闪存盘，就可以解决没光盘／光驱的问题。

这里说的转换，可不是 Copy／Paste，那样虽然简单，但闪存盘不能启动电脑。

给大家介绍个免费软件，名叫 Rufus  （https://rufus.akeo.ie/），它就可以完成这个转换，并使转换后的闪存盘能启动计算机。然后大家就可以继续装想要装的软件了。

假如你不想在计算机上装这个软件，可以用它的便携版 （portable), 不用在自己的计算机上留下任何痕迹。

Rufus

Create bootable USB drives the easy way

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

• you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
• you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
• you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
• you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!

Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO. It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USB from ISOs. ⁽¹⁾
