Open Source C# Bootable USB Tools

A simple Windows tool that can format USB or physical volumes to either NTFS or FAT32. It supports custom Volume names and quick formatting. Done out of boredom and curiosity for practicing purposes.

Rather, I perform a comparison between the currently selected volume to format and the known System volume. If they match, I trip a flag.

DDriveWrite is a C#.Net project that facilitates direct reading and writing of a disk image to a disk drive in a manner not unlike a *nix 'dd' command to a drive device node. Designed for use in bootable USB image applications. Update: After about 2 years I've finally made a couple small updates, improving usability on more modern versions of windows.
