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

          @scottalanmiller That is true. I am just saying I use both systems regularly

            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?
