12 months ago This process also "bricked" my USB stick (by creating a "RAW" partition the size of the entire drive), I have to unplug it, plug it into another computer, and delete the partition.
(proof that my USB drive works)
I had been using this drive for all sorts of things -- stl files, I plugged it into oscilloscopes to transfer data, etc. It works.
And (and) it gets better.
As I am trying to re-format this drive (after deleting the "RAW" partition; you can see the "new partition wizard"), I realized that Rufus also didn't de-mount the G:\ that was previously used for this drive, resulting in a drive letter conflict.
How it did that, I don't know. I have never seen this type of issue, either.
I tried to duplicate the above error with something else (how about a Win 7 Pro x64 SP1 image?), from here. Same behavior.

<FULL LOG>below.Rufus version: x.y.z- I have NOT removed any part of it.Additionally (if applicable):
(✓)button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.Issue description
Rufus frequently crash/hang on the USB device I am using. The flash drive used is the DT 100 G3, 8GB version. https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products/dt100g3
I purchased two 8GB version and two 16GB version a while ago.
The ISO is from here:
https://archive.org/details/Windows-XP-Professional-ISO-Version-2002-SP2-OEM-Disc-Image
"""Not official""", but pretty convincing -- I tried burning it to a DVD, and it worked. On like an actual computer (Thinkpad X201 Tablet). (turns out it's not exactly what it says -- it's Windows XP Media Center Edition SP 2)
I noticed that it stopped on the first step for about 10 minutes (usually it take a second or less). I popped up the log (by then it's not completely frozen yet). It hung really bad; the entire application froze. It did "come back" after a while, and the log is pasted below.
I tried to just mount the iso and copy the files over to the USB stick, however it didn't work.
