Win32 Disk Imager is a free, open source application for Windows that allows users to safely create, read, and write disk images. This application is designed to create backups of hard disks or floppy disks, or to write disk images to USB drives or SD cards. It is commonly used to create a bootable USB drive or flash drive for installing a new operating system or software. Win32 Disk Imager allows users to write disk images, such as ISO files, to a USB drive or SD card, thus making it easier to install the software. Additionally, this application can also be used to read disk images from USB drives or SD cards, allowing users to back up their data and store it on a separate device. Win32 Disk Imager is a reliable, user-friendly application that makes it easy to create, read, and write disk images, providing users with an effective way to back up and sync their data.
It worked great for the Raspberry Pi SD card image.
Clonezilla is more similar to Norton Ghost or other partition restoration software. Win32 is more useful for writing images to USB keys, etc.
Can be used for PXE boot services
