progress indicator, it has two work modes, console and GUI, you can explicitly use -c | --console and -g | --gui to force it to enter
console or gui mode, by default, it will smartly decide this automatically.

powerful GUI tool for this case, it can write a live image to a specified partition, the old data on that partition will keep intact.
