WinUSB gives a exit code: 256
I have Ubuntu 14.10 with WinUSB and I have a Windows 8.1 Pro ISO with a 4GB SD Card with an empty FAT32 partition. Everytime I try to use it, it says "Installation failed, exit code: 256". How do I fix this?

I started winusb from console:
gksudo winusbgui
then winusb detect my pendrive correctly, and I succesfully copied the Windows 7 installer to my pendrive (Ubuntu 14.10).

The USB must be formatted to FAT32. Otherwise, I still get this error. To do that, open GParted, select the correct device from the drop-down, right-click the partition and unmount it. Then, right-click and format to FAT32.

Same Issue on Ubuntu 18.04. Solution: Woeusb will try to use FAT32 by default so the windows 10 iso won't be loaded because some files are bigger than 4BG. Use the command line tool and add the --target-filesystem NTFS at the end.woeusb --device <iso_file> <device> --target-filesystem NTFS

For some reason winusb kept hanging up on formatting the USB drive, said it couldn't access the drive. I ended up formatting to NTFS using the "Disks" application in Ubuntu and then using winusb
from the terminal:
sudo winusb -v --install Win_7_Pro.iso /dev/sdc
NOTE: you can check to see what your usb device is using lsblk
from a terminal, mine was sdc.

I just dealt with the same problem...
Maybe it will help somebody:
I was getting this error when I clicked TARGET DEVICE and INSTALL, but if you click OPTIONS and SHOW ALL DEVICES and then you select your TARGET USB drive, it works... or at least it did in my case.
Of course my drive was formatted as NTFS!
EDIT: At the end of process error appeared, but Windows installation booted just fine.

If the Win8.1 is 64bit I understood (reading results from a Google Search) that you need at least 8GBs.
And obviously NTFS, not FAT. Indeed, I quote an excerpt From the help:
$ winusb --help
winusb usage
Install a windows ISO on an NTFS partition and edit MBR of the device
[...]
And from the CLI you can also ask for the verbose mode, maybe you can have more informations on the error.
The Win8.1 x64 iso is 3.7GB. I didn't think of NTFS. I'll try again.

I faced the same error, and tried too many fixes until found the fix. Here is the fix in my case (I hope it works for you too):
open GParted app then
unmount
the USB stick.open WinUSB or WoeUSB (a fork of WinUSB) and choose the
.iso
Windows file, and choose the USB stick. Everything goes right!
If you need to see the fix visually, I made a video on YouTube for the fix.

You may have to format it as ntfs. Do sudo apt-get install gparted
(skip this step if you already have it installed) then format it as ntfs.

sudo winusb -v --format Win10.iso /dev/sdb
This completely formats USB and installs iso image.
Please explain also which version of winusb you recommend, and how to install it.

If the Win8.1 is 64bit I understood (reading results from a Google Search) that you need at least 8GBs.
And obviously NTFS, not FAT. Indeed, I quote an excerpt From the help:
$ winusb --help
winusb usage
Install a windows ISO on an NTFS partition and edit MBR of the device
[...]
And from the CLI you can also ask for the verbose mode, maybe you can have more informations on the error.
The Win8.1 x64 iso is 3.7GB. I didn't think of NTFS. I'll try again.

I faced the same error, and tried too many fixes until found the fix. Here is the fix in my case (I hope it works for you too):
open GParted app then
unmount
the USB stick.open WinUSB or WoeUSB (a fork of WinUSB) and choose the
.iso
Windows file, and choose the USB stick. Everything goes right!
If you need to see the fix visually, I made a video on YouTube for the fix.

Windows file, and choose the USB stick. Everything goes right!
If you need to see the fix visually, I made a video on YouTube for the fix.
I faced the same error, and tried too many fixes until found the fix. Here is the fix in my case (I hope it works for you too):
open GParted app then
unmount
the USB stick.open WinUSB or WoeUSB (a fork of WinUSB) and choose the
.iso
Windows file, and choose the USB stick. Everything goes right!

You may have to format it as ntfs. Do sudo apt-get install gparted
(skip this step if you already have it installed) then format it as ntfs.

sudo winusb -v --format Win10.iso /dev/sdb
This completely formats USB and installs iso image.
Please explain also which version of winusb you recommend, and how to install it.
