A Linux , Windows , Android , 4G , 5G , AI User: Linux Operating System _ VENTOY software _ System Utility for the Linux OS environment for keeping or storing .iso"s , for example , Windows10.iso , Windows11.iso , Debian13.iso , ZorinOS18.iso , LinuxMint.iso , etc., etc., etc.

Hi Copilot , what is the Linux equivalent of the Windows System Utility called ImgBurn , in order to create a .iso image from a Windows 10 installation disk? THANKS.

Hi Grandpa Norizan! 😄

If you want to create an ISO image from a Windows 10 installation DVD, Windows itself does not include a built-in utility specifically for creating ISO files from discs.

Some popular utilities are:

ImgBurn (very popular and easy to use)
AnyBurn (simple and lightweight)
PowerISO
InfraRecorder (free)
CDBurnerXP (free, despite the name, it also works on Windows 10)

For example, with ImgBurn:

Insert your Windows 10 DVD.
Start ImgBurn.
Select "Create image file from disc".
Choose a destination folder.
Click the Read button.
ImgBurn will create a file such as:

Windows10.iso

After that, you can save the .iso file to your hard disk, USB drive, or OneDrive.

Did you know?

If you already have a Windows 10 installation DVD, you can also create an ISO from the command line in Linux using tools such as:

dd if=/dev/sr0 of=windows10.iso bs=4M status=progress

where /dev/sr0 is usually the DVD drive.

And one more thing, Grandpa Norizan 😊:

If your goal is simply to obtain a Windows 10 ISO, Microsoft used to provide official ISO downloads through their Media Creation Tool. In many cases, downloading an official ISO is faster and more reliable than creating one from an old DVD.

WHOOOOAAAAA! 😄 Are you planning to create the ISO on your Windows 10 machine, your Debian 13 machine, or your Zorin OS 18 machine? Each method is a little different, and I can show you the easiest step-by-step procedure for your particular computer.

Copilot , is there a Linux equivalent for the ImgBurn software , so that i can use it in the Linux environmenr? THANKS for the answer.

Hi Grandpa Norizan! 😄

YES! There are several Linux equivalents to ImgBurn.

Here are the ones I would recommend:

1. Brasero (Easy to Use)

Brasero is probably the closest thing to ImgBurn for Linux beginners.

Install on Debian/Zorin:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install brasero

To create an ISO from a CD/DVD:

Start Brasero.
Select Disc Copy.
Choose Image File instead of another disc drive.
Save the image as:

mydvd.iso

2. K3b (My Favorite Recommendation)

K3b is a very powerful CD/DVD/Blu-ray utility and many Linux users consider it the "Linux ImgBurn".

Install:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install k3b

Features:

✅ Create ISO images from CDs and DVDs
✅ Burn ISO images to discs
✅ Audio CD creation
✅ Data DVD creation
✅ Verification after burning

Even if you don't use KDE, K3b works well on Debian and Zorin.

3. Xfburn

A lightweight burning application often used with XFCE desktops.

sudo apt install xfburn

4. Command Line Method (The Linux Power User Way!)

If you simply want to create an ISO from a DVD, use:

sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=windows10.iso bs=4M status=progress

Where:

/dev/sr0

is usually the DVD drive.

To verify your DVD drive:

lsblk

wodim --devices

Example output:

sr0 11:0 1 DVD-ROM

Then the command becomes:

sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=windows10.iso bs=4M status=progress

This will create a sector-by-sector copy of the DVD.

Grandpa Norizan's Best Choice

Since you like simple graphical tools and have been using Debian 13 and Zorin OS 18, I would recommend:

🥇 K3b
🥈 Brasero

K3b is the one I would install first:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install k3b

WHOOOOAAAAA! 😄 Once K3b is installed, you can not only create ISO files from your Windows 10 installation DVD, but also burn those ISO files back to a DVD or even write bootable Linux installation media. It is a very handy "Swiss Army knife" for CDs and DVDs on Linux!

Hi Copilot, is there a Linux equivalent of the Windows software called RUFUS ? Thanks for your answer.

Hi Grandpa Norizan! 😄

YES! There are several Linux equivalents to Rufus, and some of them are actually very good.

🥇 Ventoy (My Top Recommendation)

If I were setting up a Debian 13 or Zorin OS 18 machine today, I would probably choose Ventoy.

Why Ventoy is special:

✅ Copy multiple ISO files onto one USB drive
✅ No need to reformat the USB every time
✅ Supports Windows ISOs
✅ Supports Linux ISOs
✅ Supports many rescue and utility ISOs

Example:

USB Drive

│

├── Windows10.iso

├── Windows11.iso

├── Debian13.iso

├── Zorin18.iso

└── Clonezilla.iso

When you boot from the USB, Ventoy shows a menu allowing you to choose which ISO to boot.

🥈 Balena Etcher

This is probably the easiest graphical tool for beginners.

Features:

✅ Very simple interface
✅ Works on Linux, Windows, and macOS
✅ Good for writing Linux installation ISOs to USB drives

Typical workflow:

Open Etcher.
Select ISO.
Select USB drive.
Click Flash.

Done!

🥉 UNetbootin

An older but still useful utility:

sudo apt install unetbootin

It can:

✅ Create bootable USB drives
✅ Download some Linux distributions directly

🥉 GNOME Disks (Already Installed on Many Linux Systems)

You may already have it installed.

Start:

gnome-disks

Then:

Select USB drive.
Click the menu button.
Choose:

Restore Disk Image...

Select your ISO.
Write it to the USB drive.

Very simple!

🥉 Command-Line Method

For Linux power users:

sudo dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

Replace:

sdX

with your USB drive.

For example:

sudo dd if=zorin-os-18.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress

⚠️ Be very careful with dd because it will overwrite the target drive completely.

Grandpa Norizan's Best Choice

For your style and the work you've been doing with Debian 13 and Zorin OS 18, I would recommend:

🥇 Ventoy (best overall)
🥈 Balena Etcher (easiest graphical tool)
🥉 GNOME Disks (often already installed)

WHOOOOAAAAA! 😄 One thing that many Linux users love is that a single Ventoy USB stick can contain Windows 10, Windows 11, Debian 13, Zorin OS 18, and even rescue tools all on the same USB drive. That's something Rufus cannot do in the same convenient way!

Copilot, could you please teach me how to install VENTOY software on my DEBIAN 13 machine........THANKS for your answer.

Hi Grandpa Norizan! 😄

WHOOOOAAAAA! Installing Ventoy on Debian 13 is actually quite straightforward.

Method 1: Install Ventoy from the Official Website (Recommended)

Step 1 - Open a Web Browser

Visit:

https://www.ventoy.net

Click:

Download

and download the latest Linux package.

The downloaded file will look something like:

ventoy-x.x.xx-linux.tar.gz

Step 2 - Open a Terminal

Press:

Ctrl + Alt + T

or open Terminal from your Applications menu.

Step 3 - Go to Your Downloads Folder

cd ~/Downloads

Check the file:

You should see something similar to:

ventoy-1.1.xx-linux.tar.gz

Step 4 - Extract the Package

Type:

tar -xzf ventoy-*.tar.gz

Then check:

You should now see a new folder:

ventoy-1.1.xx

Step 5 - Enter the Ventoy Folder

cd ventoy-*

Step 6 - Insert Your USB Flash Drive

Before continuing, identify your USB drive.

Run:

lsblk

Example:

sda 500G

├─sda1

└─sda2

sdb 32G

└─sdb1

In this example:

sdb

is the USB drive.

⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT:

Make absolutely sure you identify the correct USB drive.

Everything on that USB drive will be erased.

Step 7 - Install Ventoy onto the USB Drive

If your USB drive is:

/dev/sdb

run:

sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb

Ventoy will ask:

Continue? (y/n)

Type:

Then press Enter.

Step 8 - Finished!

You should see something like:

Install Ventoy to /dev/sdb successfully finished.

How to Use Ventoy

After Ventoy is installed:

Unplug and reinsert the USB drive.
Open your File Manager.
Copy your ISO files directly to the USB drive.

Example:

Windows10.iso

Windows11.iso

Debian13.iso

ZorinOS18.iso

LinuxMint.iso

No special software is needed after that.

Just drag and drop the ISO files onto the Ventoy USB drive.

When you boot your computer from the USB stick, Ventoy will automatically display a menu showing all the ISOs.

How to Update Ventoy Later

If a newer Ventoy version is released:

sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/sdb

The -u means Update.

Grandpa Norizan's Special Tip 😄

Since you already use Balena Etcher, Debian 13, and Zorin OS 18, I think you'll LOVE Ventoy because you only need one USB flash drive.

For example, a 64 GB USB stick could contain:

Windows 10

Windows 11

Debian 13

Zorin OS 18

Linux Mint

Clonezilla

GParted Live

Simply copy all the ISO files to the USB drive like ordinary files and Ventoy will do the rest.

That's why many Linux enthusiasts have switched from Rufus to Ventoy. 🚀😄

Hi Copilot , when i run the command......... sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb........i got the error message......./dev/sdb is already mounted, please umount it first!.........Copilot , could you please teach me how to umount it first or how can i trouble-shoot this problem?THANKS for your answer.

Hi Grandpa Norizan! 😄

WHOOOOAAAA! Actually, the error message is GOOD NEWS because it means Ventoy has correctly detected your USB drive:

/ dev / sdb is already mounted, please umount it first!

This simply means Debian has automatically mounted your USB drive, and Ventoy refuses to modify a drive that is currently in use.

Step 1 - Find the Mounted Partition

Run:

lsblk

You may see something like:

sda 500G

├─sda1

└─sda2

sdb 32G

└─sdb1

Notice the partition is:

sdb1

NOT

sdb

Usually it is the partition (sdb1) that is mounted.

Step 2 - Unmount the Partition

Run:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

If your USB stick has more than one partition:

sdb1

sdb2

sdb3

then unmount all of them:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

sudo umount /dev/sdb2

sudo umount /dev/sdb3

Step 3 - Verify It Has Been Unmounted

Run:

lsblk

If the USB is no longer mounted, you should not see a mount point such as:

/media/norizan/USB

/run/media/norizan/USB

beside the partition.

You can also verify with:

mount | grep sdb

If nothing is displayed, the drive is unmounted.

Step 4 - Run Ventoy Again

Now try:

sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb

Notice I added:

sudo

Ventoy normally needs administrator privileges.

If You Still Get "Busy" Errors

Sometimes File Manager is still looking at the USB drive.

Close:

✅ Files
✅ Nautilus
✅ Any Terminal window currently inside the USB drive

Then run:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

again.

The Nuclear Option 😄

If you are unsure what partitions are mounted on the USB drive:

lsblk -f

Example:

NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT

sda

├─sda1 ext4 /

└─sda2 swap

sdb

└─sdb1 vfat USB /media/norizan/USB

The clue is the MOUNTPOINT column.

Then unmount:

sudo umount /media/norizan/USB

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

Grandpa Norizan's Safety Check 🚨

Before running:

sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb

please run:

lsblk

and carefully verify that:

sdb

is truly your USB flash drive and not your hard disk.

Ventoy will completely erase whatever drive you specify.

If you paste the output of:

lsblk

here, I can help you identify exactly which device is your USB stick before you proceed. 😄
