On Linux, make bootable USB from Windows installation ISO
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
0
I tried creating a bootable USB from a Windows 10 ISO:
dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress
However, when booting, all I saw was:
BOOTMGR is missing.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I can successfully mount the udf filesystem on the USB, so the dd worked ok.
My BIOS is from 2012.
What magic is required to create a bootable USB key?
linux windows iso bootable

CDs and DVDs use a completely different arrangement for bootability than hard disks and USB keys. Modern Linux ISO images have been specifically prepared (processed withisohybridor similar) to be ready to boot also if transferred to USB media, but apparently Microsoft doesn't do that.

Use WoeUSB which makes a bootable USB key suitable for old BIOSes. It created a vfat partition whereas using dd didn't write any partitions.
I used --workaround-bios-boot-flag which says:
Workaround BIOS bug that won't include the device in boot menu if non of the partition's boot flag is toggled
Note also that --device will wipe the whole USB key.
Here's my command and output:
% sudo woeusb --workaround-bios-boot-flag --device en_windows_10_multiple_editions_x64_dvd_6846432.iso /dev/sdc
WoeUSB v@@WOEUSB_VERSION@@

You may now safely detach the target device
Done :)
The target device should be bootable now
For good measure, type sync afterwards.
