The Win32 Disk Imager works by utilizing the Windows operating system in the raw reading and writing (flashing) of image files to removable drives. This makes the program work quickly and easily as it takes advantage of the intuitive nature of the user interface found in Windows operating systems. Simply run it with administrator privileges to avoid most issues with this application. The latest version currently available on Sourceforge.net is written for Windows 7 and up, but it is also expected to work on other versions of Windows operating systems.
