It is in dvd writer category and is available to all software users as a free download.
Win32 Disk Imager is a simple open source application that writes CD or DVD image files to a USB or SD card, creating a virtual disk drive. Just unzip the program (no installation required), select the image you want to create from your hard drive and finally the device where you want it written to, and that's it, in a few seconds your pen drive or your memory card will become a virtual CD. You can also go back and create an image by copying the data on the storage device, but you can't create it from a CD, for that you will need a different program. Win32 Disk Imager is a simple program that carries out its function to perfection without wasting valuable resources.
This program is designed to write a raw disk image to a removable device or backup a removable device to a raw image file. It is very useful for embedded development, namely Arm development projects (Android, Ubuntu on Arm, etc). Anyone is free to branch and modify this program.
Patches are always welcome. This release is for Windows 7/8.1/10. It will should also work on Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 (although not tested by the developmers). For Windows XP/Vista, please use v0.9 (in the files archive). Warning: Issues have been reported when using to write to USB Floppy drives (and occasionally other USB devices, although very rare). While this has been fixed in v1.0, it is highly recommended that before an image is written to a device, the user should do a Read to a temporary file first. If this fails, please report the failure along with your system information.
Known issues: Currently, the program will crash if you are using a Ramdisk. This is being debugged.
