Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a small portable Windows app like Rufus that can format USB sticks, memory cards, and virtual drives, then turn them into bootable media from ISO or other disk image files. I want a simple familiar desktop UI where I can pick a device, choose a file system like FAT32, NTFS, exFAT or UDF, and create BIOS or UEFI boot drives for Windows or Linux. It should also support FreeDOS or MS DOS boot media, Windows To Go, Linux persistence, making image backups of an existing drive, checksum verification for selected images, and bad block checking with fake flash drive detection.

Please include a clear progress view and a detailed log so it is obvious what the tool is doing. If possible, add the quality of life stuff mentioned in Rufus, like downloading official Windows ISOs and helping prepare Windows 11 install media for machines without TPM or Secure Boot, plus the Windows setup privacy and local account tweaks. Keep it lightweight, portable, and secure boot friendly. Look up current docs online if you need to.
