Popular burners include ''XFBurn'', ''K3b'', and ''Brasero''. Which one you may choose is entirely down to personal choice.

It is recommended to use '''[https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/ ImageWriter For Windows]''', which is a free application designed to write disc images to USB sticks as well as ''Compact Flash'' (CF) and ''Secure Digital'' (SD) cards. Once Imagewriter has been downloaded and installed, ensure that your USB stick is plugged in before starting it.

Should your attempt to write to a USB stick still be unsuccessful, then use a partition tool to format it as a '''RAW''' partition type, and use ''ImageWriter'' again.

{{warning|Re-partitioning your USB stick as a '''RAW''' data type will result in all data present being destroyed, and will render it unusable for other purposes until reformatted back to its original partition type.}}
