When you try to create a bootable USB drive from an ISO using Rufus<\/a>, you may encounter the Access Denied error. The full error message is below:<\/p>\n

Error: Access to the device is denied.<\/pre>\n
\"rufus<\/p>\n
I received the above error when creating a Ubuntu boot disk from the ISO<\/a> using Rufus. The Rufus log file showed these entries:<\/p>\n
WARNING: 'Controlled Folder Access' appears to be enabled on this system\r\nYou may need to disable this feature, or add an exception, for Rufus to work...<\/pre>\n
Requesting disk access...\r\nWill use 'G:' as volume mountpoint\r\nOpened \\\\.\\PhysicalDrive2 for exclusive write access\r\nAnalyzing existing boot records...\r\nDrive has a Zeroed Master Boot Record\r\nClearing MBR\/PBR\/GPT structures...\r\nErasing 128 sectors\r\nWrite error [0x00000005] Access is denied.\r\nRetrying in 5 seconds...\r\nWrite error [0x00000005] Access is denied.\r\nRetrying in 5 seconds...\r\nWrite error [0x00000005] Access is denied.\r\nRetrying in 5 seconds...\r\nWrite error [0x00000005] Access is denied.\r\nCould not reset partitions\r\nRe-mounted volume as G: after error<\/pre>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
The error [0x00000005] Access is denied occurs if Microsoft Defender’s Controlled Folder Access<\/a> feature is enabled and it has blocked Rufus from taking excluding write access to the drive.<\/p>\n
\"rufus<\/p>\n
If you’re not using Microsoft Defender, then check out the equivalent setting in the respective antivirus program.<\/p>\n
Solution<\/h2>\n
To prevent this error from occurring, try disabling Microsoft Defender’s Controlled Folder Access feature temporarily.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, you may try adding Rufus’s executable to the list of allowed programs. To allow an app, click “Allow an app through Controlled folder access” option in Windows Defender Security Center. For more information, see the section “Add (whitelist) apps for Controlled folder access<\/em>” in the article Configure Controlled Folder Access<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Also, refer Official FAQ<\/a> page of Rufus for additional information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
