I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.\r\n\r\nIssue description\r\n-----------------\r\ncannot write with rufus a non bootable iso\r\ni have an iso that is not bootable and i tried to write it to a usb, but rufus refuses to write it.\r\nwill it be possible to allow rufus to write non bootable iso\r\n\r\nLog\r\n---\r\n```\r\nRufus version: 2.10.973\r\nWindows version: Windows 10 64-bit (Build 10240)\r\nSyslinux versions: 4.07/2013-07-25, 6.03/2014-10-06\r\nGrub versions: 0.4.6a, 2.02~beta3\r\nSystem locale ID: 0x0409\r\nWill use default UI locale 0x0409\r\nFound USB 2.0 device 'SanDisk Ultra Fit USB Device' (0781:5583)\r\nNOTE: This device is an USB 3.0 device operating at lower speed...\r\n1 device found\r\nDisk type: Removable, Sector Size: 512 bytes\r\nCylinders: 3738, TracksPerCylinder: 255, SectorsPerTrack: 63\r\nPartition type: MBR, NB Partitions: 1\r\nDisk ID: 0x0E6DCB17\r\nDrive has an unknown Master Boot Record\r\nPartition 2:\r\n  Type: EFI FAT (0xef)\r\n  Size: 40 MB (41943040 bytes)\r\n  Start Sector: 172, Boot: No, Recognized: Yes\r\nScanning image...\r\nISO analysis:\r\n  Image is an ISO9660 image\r\nDisk image analysis:\r\n  Image does not have an x86 Master Boot Record\r\nISO label: 'NAME'\r\n  Size: 2465972224 bytes\r\nScanning image...\r\nISO analysis:\r\n  Image is an ISO9660 image\r\nDisk image analysis:\r\n  Image does not have an x86 Master Boot Record\r\nISO label: 'NAME'\r\n  Size: 2465972224 bytes\r\nScanning image...\r\nISO analysis:\r\n  Image is an ISO9660 image\r\nDisk image analysis:\r\n  Image does not have an x86 Master Boot Record\r\nISO label: 'NAME'\r\n  Size: 2465972224 bytes\r\nScanning image...\r\nISO analysis:\r\n  Image is an ISO9660 image\r\nDisk image analysis:\r\n  Image does not have an x86 Master Boot Record\r\nISO label: 'NAME'\r\n  Size: 2465972224 bytes\r\n\r\nFormat operation started\r\nRequesting disk access...\r\nOpened drive \\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE2 for write access\r\nWill use 'F:' as volume mountpoint\r\nI/O boundary checks disabled\r\nAnalyzing existing boot records...\r\nDrive has an unknown Master Boot Record\r\nVolume has an unknown Partition Boot Record\r\nClearing MBR/PBR/GPT structures...\r\nErasing 128 sectors\r\nDeleting partitions...\r\nPartitioning (MBR)...\r\nClosing existing volume...\r\nWaiting for logical drive to reappear...\r\nFormatting (FAT32)...\r\nUsing cluster size: 16384 bytes\r\nQuick format was selected\r\nCreating file system...\r\nFormat completed.\r\nWriting master boot record...\r\nDrive has a Zeroed Master Boot Record\r\nPartition is already FAT32 LBA...\r\nUsing Windows 7 MBR\r\nFound volume GUID \\\\?\\Volume{b8075f7a-b89c-11e5-82ae-180373c76cbf}\\\r\nSuccessfully remounted Volume{b8075f7a-b89c-11e5-82ae-180373c76cbf}\\ on F:\\\r\n\r\nFound USB 2.0 device 'SanDisk Ultra Fit USB Device' (0781:5583)\r\nNOTE: This device is an USB 3.0 device operating at lower speed...\r\n1 device found\r\nDisk type: Removable, Sector Size: 512 bytes\r\nCylinders: 3738, TracksPerCylinder: 255, SectorsPerTrack: 63\r\nPartition type: MBR, NB Partitions: 1\r\nDisk ID: 0x4ED401F8\r\nDrive has a Windows 7 Master Boot Record\r\nPartition 1:\r\n  Type: FAT32 LBA (0x0c)\r\n  Size: 28.6 GB (30750951424 bytes)\r\n  Start Sector: 2048, Boot: No, Recognized: Yes\r\nScanning image...\r\nISO analysis:\r\n  Image is an ISO9660 image\r\nDisk image analysis:\r\n  Image does not have an x86 Master Boot Record\r\nISO label: 'name'\r\n  Size: 2465972224 bytes\r\n\r\n```\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/pbatard/rufus/issues/comments/236307615","html_url":"https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/804#issuecomment-236307615","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/pbatard/rufus/issues/804","id":236307615,"user":{"login":"ByReaL","id":3046965,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3046965?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL","html_url":"https://github.com/ByReaL","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ByReaL/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-29T22:16:32Z","updated_at":"2016-07-29T22:16:32Z","body":"Hi,\nyes it makes total sense and tanks very much for taking the time to provide a detailed response.It looks like i have to do some more work on my side because i need somehow to write the files from the iso to teh usb without the OS adding it's junk.

You may get lucky if you unplug the drive fast enough, but Rufus certainly does not take any measures to avoid its creation and, as a matter of fact, this is something that distros, such as QubeOS, have to work around, because Rufus certainly can't.And, no it wouldn't be a small change, as I would likely have to explain to Rufus users who picked the non bootable option by mistake, why their USB doesn't boot (which, I can guarantee from experience, will be a lot due to the application being downloaded 2 million times each month). So I have to reiterate that, even if it was an easy coding change (which I don't really think it is in the first place, as it would require some UI redesign which is always a big deal), it's still a much better deal not to do it, due to the time spent supporting such a feature, than doing it.I hope that makes sense.—\nYou are receiving this because you authored the thread.\nReply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread.  \n\n  "}}
