I've had issues with most bootable USB creation tools, including Rufus, particularly with CentOS (even though it's listed as known working!). I'm not sure whose fault this is, really. I think the problem is that the tools just try to be too "smart" instead of simply dd-ing the bytes over. The best tool I've found for this on Windows is Rawrite32.


Rufus has issues with some early UEFI implementations and may not work at all. I haven't had a problem with current hardware, however.


The early UEFI days were just a headache for everyone involved, really.


Same, although unetbootin in has been the most reliable for me.
