How to create usb boottable for windows on arch linux?

tldr you can’t

watzon 2022-09-27 19:12:42

You can, you just need the windows iso

watzon 2022-09-27 19:12:56

Then you can use dd like you would when making a bootable Linux install

You can, you just need the windows iso

the downloaded iso is missing drivers for sata devices

I have it

watzon 2022-09-27 19:13:17

It’s just finicky

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:13:25

the windows iso manager appends them to the iso when you flash it

watzon 2022-09-27 19:13:28

I’ve had success with it in the past anyway

watzon 2022-09-27 19:13:33

Ahh

watzon 2022-09-27 19:13:35

Hmm

watzon 2022-09-27 19:13:52

I know I’ve done it before, but not recently

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:14:02

yeah, it used to be ok

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:14:10

back in windows 7 everything was fine

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:14:21

then tablets and hybrid laptops became a thing

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:14:24

*sigh*

smol_mazunki 2022-09-27 19:14:35

and OEM, and cringe capitalism

Use ventoy. Then you just copy whatever ISOs you want to the USB

It’s possible but not recommended with modern windows.

Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

Old. Ventoy is so much better.

cryptodanvr 2022-09-27 19:19:39

Ive had issues with ventoy and windows on some uefis

Elvis Presley 2022-09-27 19:19:55

I’ve had issues just getting woeusb to work period

cryptodanvr 2022-09-27 19:20:20

wieusb-ng is a much improved version of woeusb

Elvis Presley 2022-09-27 19:21:13

Ventoy even has experimental version for secure boot now. Very active development on it
