What the hell, why is it impossible to create a Windows 10 bootable drive from linux? WoeUSB gives an error that was "fixed"
I'm using manjaro, pic related is what WoeUSB tells me?
( I am using NTFS )

because you are literally a noob. dont use software. Just format the USB to FAT32 or ntfs. then just extract the iso file to the usb and you are done.
Austin Wilson
I formatted to NTFS and copied all the windows 10 files, it doesn't boot into windows and it gives me the nice blue screen "Your windows is broken"
I even tried dd
Jacob Martinez
Format usb to fat32 and copy all files inside iso to it.
That Works For me.
Nolan Foster
It's windows 10, it's 5gb :(
Joshua Lewis
nigga I bought a 16gb usb in 2010 for like 12 dollars at Walmart
Jackson Cook
Dude, do you know the fact that fat32 can't have files bigger than 4gbs on it?
William Diaz
He's not saying copy the iso to a fat32 filesystem, he's saying copy everything IN the iso to a fat32 filesystem. So that shouldn't be a problem.
Juan Martin
Then don't use fat32 nigger
Julian Jackson
this creates a broken installer 95% of the time
Hunter Lopez
UEFI can boot the extracted iso on exfat

>dev/sdd
wrong target retard. you'd need su to wipe a drive even then woeusb will failsafe
Eli Mitchell
um...
Luis Clark
thats an image containet derp
Anthony Allen
it's from inside of the ISO, downloaded from microsoft.com
Henry Murphy
/media/ not an installed device
Connor Adams
than ms are retarded. wim is an image. to boot all you need is a header corresponding to the images fs
Caleb Gonzalez
You have to run WoeUSB in the terminal with a certain command I can't remember. It's in their GitHub wiki.

Read Microsoft website it has info here.
Bentley Miller
Fuck guys, I tried everything and every single time it freezes during the booting of the Bootable USB, it freezes at the windows loading screen, I am desperate so I am going to try and install windows 7 now, hopefully it'll work
Jacob Anderson

Are tech support threads allowed now, then?

sounds good. it protects the stupid user.
Cameron Rivera
Just trying to learn and see what's wrong so that the next time I know what to do.
Levi Nelson
sudo fdisk -l to check which drive it is (sdx in my example)
sudo mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdx && dd if=/path/to/windowsiso.iso | pv | dd of=/dev/sdx
You literal nigger.
Angel Martin
this worked for me last time I wanted Windows 10 USB from Lunix. I eventually destroyed that installation and just went full blown Linux.

I use Rufus in virtual box for all my USB media creation needs :^)
Dylan Edwards
You have to format it as ntfs, and make sure you are using a DOS partition table. Very important. You can copy the installation files, but I prefer using 7zip.
7z x windows.iso /mnt
Flush disk buffers, and reboot. Then you're good.
Jayden Reed
You don't need to do that. Literally copy and paste the files to the NTFS USB drive after mounting the iso.
Look I think we should help as many retards back to Windows as possible so they're not polluting the Linux environment.
Aaron Wilson
dd if=your_windows.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
Blake Gomez

Jackson Lee
You can't do that, the partition requires a valid UDF signature for the installation to properly run
Jordan Torres
Because linux is a walled garden, no freedom to escape it
Wyatt Barnes
Do you even know how setting up a bootable usb works?
Jace Price
How do you flush disk buffers?
