How to create bootable Windows 7 USB on Ubuntu 16.04












2















I have a Windows 7 ISO which I'm trying to put on my USB to install Windows alongside ubuntu (I already know the steps to take to fix grub when I'm done) My problem is when I use unetbootin, it gets stuck on a screen that repeats automatic boot in 10 seconds infinitely, and I can't install winUSB on ubuntu 16.04.



I tried all the solutions and it works, but when I try to boot I get some error messages about realtek. Will post a screenshot when I get home.



I tried doing it for a third time and it worked, for some reason. So thanks.

          1. Go to 'Disks'.

          2. Select the USB drive.

          3. Restore the iso file from properties.


          This worked for me.

            mkusb now does Win10 startup disks:

            Extracting the iso to a NTFS formatted USB has not worked for me in years.

              Maybe You can try install WoeUSB or WinUSB



              Here the download link: https://pkgs.org/download/woeusb



              Or You can install it using terminal commands (WoeUSB):




              sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8



              sudo apt update



              sudo apt install woeusb




              WinUSB downloadlink: https://pkgs.org/download/winusb



              For WinUSB use command:




              sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8



              sudo apt update



              sudo apt install winusb
