      This is what a Rufus formatted USB flash drive looks like:

      We have a fair number of different high speed and ultra-high speed flash drives we use for OS loading. Since using Rufus to set up the uEFI ones we do not have anymore issues especially with servers where things can get finicky.

          But Fedora Media Writer on Fedora can't write Windows media.

              But in all honesty it's very easy to make a bootable windows installer USB drive manually. Just make a primary bootable FAT32 partition on the USB drive and copy the files from the ISO onto it. Done.

              Yeah on windows I always do it manually because it's so fast. But I always use ntfs, never fat32.

              Isn't fat32 partition needed for UEFI bootable installer?

              I guess not, because I always specifically do fs=ntfs in disk part when I make one.

              Are you positive you're booting UEFI mode using that USB stick?

                But Fedora Media Writer on Fedora can't write Windows media.

                I believe @JaredBusch had a post on this a while ago. Found it

                    Not working for me. I tried two different USB drives. It is just booting to a grub menu. Unless I am supposed to launch something from here.

                      I've had success using CLI instead.

                      sudo umount /dev/sdb1
                      sudo woeusb --tgt-fs NTFS --device Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso /dev/sdb

                            Not sure why but I'm getting this message using the CLI.

                            /usr/bin/woeusb: line 1676: echo: write error: Invalid argument
                            The command "exit 0" failed with exit status "1", program is prematurely aborted
                            

                            Instead of

                            Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_source_1559784507_8150"...
                            Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_target_1559784507_8150"...
                            You may now safely detach the target device
                            Done :)
                            The target device should be bootable now

                              @black3dynamite I've not seen that happen. This is every time?

                                It happened twice so far with the same USB.

                                  Try another USB, maybe there is something wrong with that one?
