Make a Bootable Windows 10 USB Installer from Fedora Linux

IRJ

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

Same result

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?
