XBoonty

USB and SD writer tools are essential tools for Windows as they enable you to create installation media, bootable Flash Drives for a fresh reinstall or repair of your operating system as well as install all sorts of applications.

XBoonty is a lightweight utility that provides a quick way to write ISO and IMG files on a USB stick or SD card.

The program is portable and hence does not need installation or configuration, but it may need you to run it using an Administrator account. The app can automatically detect the removable storage media connected to your computer, so you simply need to use the drop-down box to select the one that you want to manage.

It is worth mentioning that the utility provides several valuable pieces of information regarding the SD or USB device connected. You can learn more about the physical drive size, model, interface type, partition and format. At the same time, during the actual writing or formatting, you can check out the transfer speed, time remaining and volume, in case the storage media is partitioned.

The app comes with a USB log that you can check out in case you get errors, as after all the program is currently in Beta and then, potentially prone to some mishaps. You can find out if the program loaded correctly and if the connection to the device is working as intended.

The idea behind XBoonty isis to provide a quick way to burn an image file and even though, IMG and ISO are recommended, you can add other types of files as well if necessary. At the same time, the app comes with a Hash Generator where you can find out and compare the MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 for the file you are about to burn.

Lastly, you have the possibility to create backups of the file, an option that can come in handy if you are writing a custom operating system or larger application, for instance. To make sure that you do not get any errors in the future when attempting to access it, then you can also consider formatting the store devices using the dedicated functions.
