Last night I first tried Rufus which was moving along but ended up failing. Windows Installation Disk Images aren’t Hybrid ISOs, thus they won’t make USB storage bootable if it is rawly-written. One bit of useful information from the wiki regading hybrid iso discussion above: It is a fork of Congelli501's WinUSB.Īnd there’s a wiki there too, although I haven’t seen you particular error there (but I wasn’t very thorough, just looked briefly). GitHub - slacka/WoeUSB: WoeUSB is a simple tool that enable you to create your own usb stick windows installer from an iso image or a real DVD. We can try to troubleshoot it erroring out in your case – if you want. Moreover, I’ve tested it, and it booted successfully in BIOS mode. I’ve tried WoeUSB myself – right now – and it created a Win7 USB for me without any errors. I haven’t tried / verified this one myself.Ĭreate a Bootable Windows 7 or 10 USB Drive in Linux Here’s another guide – with more details/explanations along the similar lines but using ntfs partition instead of fat32 one, and I think it’s good for BIOS boot. Again, not 100% sure, as I’ve tried it quite some time ago. Also I think it worked with earlier Win10 version for me, but a later one had an installation file more that 4 GB in size – and that couldn’t be written to or read from a fat32 partition. I think it works with UEFI boot only (that’s why just unpacking files on a fat32 partition is enough, as suggested). I don’t think it’ll work with win7 though (but again, I’m not sure). Linux - Fedora: Create windows 8.1 bootable USB - Super User Just for the broadening our perspectives, so to say, I’m quite sure I’ve used this recipe once successfully: I’ve used it to create Windows 7 bootable DVD, but had trouble with Win10. There’s also official windows program to do the same: Thanks for all your most reliable and hassle-free way of making Windows install USB flash drive from an ISO I’ve found is using Rufus under Windows (on another machine under Windows, for example). I’m certainly not sure but I think the original dd is what did it in as eluded to by nightromantic above. So, after messing with this drive all day with no success I threw it in the woodstove like throwing the One Ring into Mt Doom from which it was forged! It’s $8 - screw it! There are no partitions on this disk to show. See the System Event Log for more information.ĭiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to MBR format. It would seem to be getting somewhere but ulimately fail like:ĭiskPart has encountered an error: The system cannot find the file specified. So I’m nuts with this thing now and I saw some other pages on using the Windows “diskpart” utility. But it failed ‘out of space’ at 967 MB again! Then I put the fashdrive in the F29 laptop to try the dd command on it. I think there was one large win32 partition I was able to write to with notepad: I de-elected quick format and it seemed to work. ![]() As it started it was showing 7gb total capacity (yea). Goto fileman > rightclick Computer > select Manage > select “Disk Management” on left > new window - select flash - rightclick > New Simple Volume wizard Then I saw in tutorial at:Į/how-to/windows-was-unable-to-complete-the-format.php It started but soon stopped saying that it could not format the drive. Right off the fm said it needed to format the drive. I had installed the win7 from the DVD the other day, so I stuck the flashdrive in there. I have heard of such things but never exerienced it. Hahahaha so that flash is messed up now I guess. Number Start End Size Type File system Flags Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B My thinking was that the drive is just memory that needs to be blanked out and rewritten and these tools should do that right? Sso I did these with gparted: ~/build> sudo dd bs=4M if=windows7_DVD.iso of=/dev/sda1 conv=fdatasyncĭd: error writing ‘/dev/sda1’: No space left on deviceĩ66553600 bytes (967 MB, 922 MiB) copied, 49.399 s, 19.6 MB/sĭoes that mean that the original dd is still there and can’t be touched for some reason? So I tried the to dd the iso again but with line above: Windows7_DVD.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data ‘GRMCULF(X)REO_EN-RU_DVD’ (bootable) So they both say this and are the same size: ![]() Running “file” on the original iso file shows is an ISO 9660 after all. ![]() Didn’t want to leave a dead end thread here so:Īpparently I was mistaken.
