• Automatic USB Detection: Automatically detect available USB drives.
• Drive Validation: Check if the selected device is a valid USB drive.
• USB Drive Formatting: Format the USB drive with the FAT32 file system.
• ISO File Copying: Copy the contents of the selected ISO file to the USB drive.

Prerequisites

To use Bootable USB Creator, you need the following prerequisites:

• Python 3 installed on your system.
• Required Python packages: tkinter, win32file, win32com.client.

Usage

1. Run the script using Python 3.
2. Select the ISO file by clicking the "Browse" button.
3. Choose a USB drive from the list of available drives.
4. Click the "Create Bootable USB Drive" button to start the process.

How It Works

Bootable USB Creator uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Win32 APIs to identify USB drives and manage the process of creating a bootable USB drive.

Here's how it works:

• The script uses WMI to identify USB drives by checking the InterfaceType.
• It validates the selected USB drive path and ensures it is a removable device.
• The script formats the USB drive using the FAT32 file system.
• It then copies the contents of the selected ISO file to the USB drive using the xcopy command.

Please note that you should have the necessary privileges to format the USB drive.

Disclaimer: Be cautious when using this script, as it may modify your storage devices. Ensure that you have a backup of important data on your USB drives before creating a bootable USB.
