Writing the image in ISO mode (recommended)

You can use the Rufus application to write the image in ISO mode. The Rufus application also allows writing the image in DD mode.

To write an image of Kaspersky Rescue Disk in ISO mode:

  1. In the main window of Rufus, select the USB drive that you want to make bootable.
  2. Select the Kaspersky Rescue Disk image file (krd.iso).
  3. Edit the other settings as follows:
    • Partition scheme: MBR.
    • Target system: BIOS or UEFI.
    • File system: FAT32.

    If you are using Kaspersky Rescue Disk on a regular basis, you can save its settings to a removable drive. Kaspersky Rescue Disk uses persistence technology to save the settings. To enable the technology, you need to define the size of persistent-partition. The solution will save application data to this partition.
