I want to burn a Windows ISO to a USB device in Ubuntu. How do I do this?
I know how to burn a Ubuntu ISO into a USB device, but with a Windows ISO it's not the same.
UNetbootin should work: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Or you could try a bit-by-bit copy:
- Insert the USB device and then open Disk Utility (in 10.10 and older,
System -> Administration -> Disk Utility). - Select the USB device from the list in the left of the program and detect where it was mounted:
/dev/sd[1 letter][optionally 1 number]
. For example,/dev/sdc
or/dev/sdc1
. Make sure the USB device is unmounted (not safely removed, but unmounted)
If it is mounted you can unmount it:sudo umount /dev/sd[1 letter][optionally 1 number]
Assuming the .iso file is in your home folder, open the terminal and write:
sudo dd bs=4M if=[ur .iso] of=/dev/sd[that 1 letter]
Example:
sudo dd bs=4M if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdc
And wait for it to finish.
(The "bs=4M" - bit is optional, just makes it faster.)
