In the above example u did not mess with the initial 28 go of boot file so don’t worry it is safe! If there is a persistence folder then redo the process Note just to confirm if everything went right, just boot up the usb after resizing and make sure that there is no persistence folder by default on the desktop

Note- don’t boot in the stick you have to operate on.Ĩ.now install gparted (Linux partition manager for gnome btw) sometimes preinstalled just check and open it.ĩ.now at the top right u select your 128 gb stick. Now our goal is to merge the 99 gb to 1 gb persistence to make it 100 gb persistence which we could not have done otherwise on rufus as it would be stuck on 100% formattingħ.So either arrange a vm or casually boot another iso in an Minimum of 4gb stick.

28 Gb a reserved for my iso boot sector, 1 gb as persistence and 99 gb unallocated memory.Supposedly I want to create a 100 gb partition.Within a few minutes your file will be flashed on the usb.Note-By viewing the scenario it is clear that there is definitely a problem with the formatting module of rufus.

Only the limitation is ur physical disk space not a software bug Here is a simple solution which allows u to create a persistence partition as large as u want! 1 Tb 100 Tb. It happens only when I use NTFS with this partition scheme.ĭon’t even complicate it by logs n stufff User interface is responsive, but the only way to terminate Rufus is to kill it in task manager. Then waits a little bit and reports: Warning: Could not obtain exclusive rights. Volume has an unknown Partition Boot Recordįound volume GUID \\?\Volume. Opened \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 for exclusive write access When I click on "Start" it writes some structures but then hangs forever on trying to write MBR: Format operation started When I choose "MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM" Rufus forces me to choose NTFS. When I try to write Windows Server 2008 image which is of 3GB size, I can write the USB stick either with "MBR partition scheme for UEFI" or "GPT partition scheme for UEFI", but my AsRock motherboard can't boot from this stick. Then I created a test USB drive with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS setup and installed it without any issues. Using a Rufus's built-in FreeDOS image I found that "MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM" is the only option to create bootable USB drive that the motherboard understands and boots from. So I am using Rufus to create a bootable USB stick.

I bought a PC without optical drive and there is no option to borrow it for a short time.
