Since I service a lot of computers and prefer using linux mint as my main operating system I have wanted to make a bootable flash drive for installing windows (7,10 versions). However I have taken a known good iso of windows 7 home premium 64bit and created a NTFS on the flash drive and the flash drive fails to boot errors.
Try Unetbootin from github. The developer offers bin versions of Unetbootin for linux via this link. Unetbootin.github.io/ Try another tool. The Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator comes with Ubuntu and there is a robust version in 16.04 LTS and newer versions of Ubuntu. Disks alias gnome-disks is another robust tool that comes with Ubuntu. Mkusb works in all current versions of Ubuntu and clones. UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux. To install UNetbootin from the Ubuntu PPA, run the commands.
BCD 0xc000000f Error Windows So, My first thought is perhaps this is not possible on a usb stick? I have done many DVDs using K3b. However, UNetbootin and the Mint 'USB Image Writer' but can not create a bootable usb flash drive for windows.
I have a Samsung NP900X4C-A01US with no dvd drive that needed a reload. I was finally able to get the restore working on the samsung but the question still remains why I am having such a difficult time making the bootable usb flash drive. Updated to provide this: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/06/make-boo ... stall.htmlI am using Linux Mint KDE 16 and try to install Windows 8.1 into girlfriend's laptop.
I did it previously with Linux iso but with Windows iso it does not work... First of all I format a USB stick (tried FAT32 and NTFS) using linux mint usb formatter. Then I use linux mint usb writer - I select an iso image (tried to use 2) and select my usb. When USB is written I try to boot it and I always get: please select boot device or insert boot media and press a key usb Also it says now that it is a UDF volume. Any thoughts how can I make bootable USB WINDOWS 8.1 using Linux Mint?
