Description jnagyjr1978 2016-05-13 14:13:19 UTC

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html at 2.3.1.1. Writing an Image File to USB points users of Windows who wish to burn a memstick image to LaunchPad for Win32 Disk Imager. Launchpad no longer hosts those files as the project is being migrated to SourceForge. Linked are screen captures for documentation.

https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/ is no longer valid for Win32 Disk Imager

It's new location is https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
