I DID format the 8 gb flash drive as NTFS, but as you can see it errors.
I need to get this doen, so I must use a windows PC I suppose.

WOEUSB fails, for some reason it thinks the flash is fat32!!!

I guess the first question I'd have (assuming I'm understanding your question correctly of course) is, why on Earth are you trying to write a Windows 10 ISO with Linux for? Is Linux all you have to work with?

The ISO image already would contain a filesystem.

see fuse= NTFS, I copied the iso onto the flash drive. Now I am going to the Windows 10 PC to write the iso.
I am thinking I should not need to be a geek to do this, so this has an issue. Most average folk will just give up and say it does not work, as it really does not just work.

when you run WoeUSB from graphical menu it automatically reformats the usb to fat32. will need to start WoeUSB from the command line something similar to this the sdx will be different and the iso may be named different.


that is referenced in your error message:

Why not?? I dual boot this PC. I need to reinstall win10 os as when it updated it hosed itself. If I had no other windows PC I would be out of luck!
And woeusb is supposed to be able to do this, and I dont think I should have to think so hard about troubleshooting why it cant.

Commandline is a kludge. The gui should be rewritten, obviously they know this is a problem yet they say this is the go to program in linux for doing this.
One reason people do not like Linux is they say you have to use terminal commands, and this is an obvious example.

NO Linux cannot write a windows iso to a stick. I had to use windows and its web-sight to create a install usb stick for windows 10. it maybe works in the browser .. it has been so long I forget exactly how I got it done, but I have used it just the other day to install Windows 10 and it still works. but I used Windows stuff to do it? search create a windows boot stick or similar to research how to get that done. you might be able to spoof your browser to make it look like it is running on a windows os.

I have not tried this WoeUSB thingy. Did you build it properly?

looks like someone is still "taking care of it"

Here it is writing using rufus in win 10.
I selected mbr not uefi bios writing, it gives you a choice.

I did not build woeusb, there is a binary latest version install ppa.

Your response makes very little (if any) sense, if you have another Windows machine and Windows is working ON THAT machine, then I repeat my question; why on Earth are you trying to use Linux to do it instead ? That doesn't make any sense.

What do you not understand? What is hard to understand? Simply I desire to reinstall windows 10 from a downloaded iso file from MS written to a flash drive using ubuntu linux. And i cant as WOEusb 'WOE' is appropriate fails.

Maybe it does, maybe not, I will never know.

I found it immediately with google.

I have to admit that when I attempted to "just dd" Windows 10 onto a USB stick it failed and, instead, I ended up using my pathetically slow Windows 10 dual-boot laptop to do it.
Had I not had access to a native install of Windows 10 I would have been unable to install Windows 10*.
It would be very useful to be able to create a Windows 10 install USB under Linux -- though, of course, Microsoft have likely made that more difficult.
To me, the answer to this particular thread is to buy a real version of Windows from Microsoft for a hundred or so dollars. My licenses are "legal" but I paid about a tenth of that for them so don't care whether they work and know I have no support and could have them stop working at any point.
Pay for it, work it out, or go without...


*It turns out I wasn't able to install it anyway, due to Windows Installer not being able to wok with SATA drives, but that's another story.

I ended up having t use the windows media creation tool.
And had to copy the tool onto an NTFS formatted usb drive, running from the hard drive it continually failed after downloading 5gb of iso file every single time.

I now have win 10 ver 1809 up and running fine.
I have a failing third data drive in the PC, and boy does that give win10 the willies, refuses to even boot up with it plugged in. Ubuntu looks at it and runs a job on it, then it boots up. Currently copying 120gb of stuff off it onto a portable usb drive using ubuntu.

Using the very detailed instructions at the link below to extract a windows iso and copy the files/folders to a usb stick will enable you to use it to boot it and install windows 10. All you need is the ability to read and follow detailed instructions. If your iso file of windows is over 4GB, the Disk Image Mounter will likely fail so you need to loop mount the windows iso and then copy the files to the usb. I would suggest you read through the instructions before beginning so you have an understanding. Since you already have Ubuntu and Grub installed, you can skip the step of installing Grub on the flash drive if you want and just put the menuentry in your Ubuntu grub.cfg file. If you might to use the usb on more than one computer, then install Grub to the flash drive.

What are you saying here?
Fair enough.

Bye.

It may be an issue with your flash drive as I also experienced the same
