WHY BALENAETCHER?

Here at balena we have thousands of users working through our getting started
process, we found there was no easy way for our users to flash an SD card that
we could recommend to everyone.

So we built Etcher, an SD card flasher app that is simple for end users,
extensible for developers, and works on any platform.

 * Create USB installation media from bootable ISOs
 * Install almost any OS to almost any flash drive
 * Offer an easy way for your users to flash your OS using our ‘Flash with
   Etcher’ feature

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do if my flash in Etcher fails?


It depends how it fails. Most of the time, a failed flash is due to either a
faulty drive or adapter. Retry. Then try with another adaptor, drive or card and
usb port.

If you're flashing from an url and it fails, try downloading the file first and
flash it again from file.

Sometimes, things might go wrong, and you end up with a half-flashed drive that
is unusable by your operating systems, and common graphical tools might even
refuse to get it back to a normal state. To solve these kinds of problems, we've
collected a list of fail-proof methods to completely erase your drive in major
operating systems.


Can I use Etcher on Windows, Linux or Mac?


Etcher works on Microsoft Windows 10 and later, Linux (most distros) and macOS
10.10 (Yosemite) and later. Make sure you download the correct version from our
downloads section.

For Windows 7, 8 or 32 bits, the latest compatible version of Etcher is v7.9.0.


Do I need to format my SD card / thumb drive before using Etcher? 


No. But keep in mind that Etcher will erase the whole drive and replace the
data.


Can Etcher make a bootable USB? 


Yes, as long as the file your flashing is bootable.


Can Etcher write Windows ISO?


Windows images are not bootable without extra treatment that etcher is not
designed to do. If you need to make a bootable disk for windows you can find
more information in our documentation.


What should I do if I am still having problems with Etcher?


Still having issues? Check out the Etcher docs to troubleshoot your problem,
search the forums for already opened tickets with the same issue as you which or
open your own ticket or issue on the etcher repo, and our support team will be
able to help you.
