![]() ![]() ![]() And it's not because the USB drive is not bootable: rather, it seems to me it doesn't work because syslinux can't find something bootable among the files copied over from the loop-mounted Windows 10 iso (that page doesn't go into what seems to me a ciritical step-creation of a syslinux configuration file). However, despite the fact that I have recently created a few syslinux-bootable USB drives and understand well how to do this, the process described there does not work for me. But are there other alternatives?įor example this page indicates that mounting the iso image and copying its contents to an NTFS-formatted USB drive, one that has already been made bootable using syslinux, will also work. I presume the easiest way of doing something with that iso under the circumstances described would be to dd it to a USB drive: dd if=/path/to/Win10.iso of=/path/to/USB/drive/ I have not yet tried that but think it likely to work as advertised. How does one, using only utilities available under Linux, go about creating the Windows 10 installation media?Ī Windows 10 iso can be downloaded from Microsoft, which looks like a good start. Also assume that no CD/DVD drive is available. ![]() Assume preparation issues such as partitioning hard drives to create space for Windows are already resolved. The problem: a Linux user on a legacy/BIOS system would like to install Windows 10 alongside Linux (on real hardware, not in a VM).
