  • You can try with mkusb-plug according to this link. – sudodus Apr 30 '20 at 12:13
  • the device is unmounted and you can unplug it. the system might not see the current portable table of the target device unless you re-plug it. this error is occuring – assas Apr 30 '20 at 17:10
  • It may occur, when the USB drive is slow and writing via the buffers gets choked. 1. Did you unplug and plug it back, and press Enter to continue; 2. It may help, if you overwrite the target drive with zeros. If you installed mkusb via the PPA, you can use mkusb version 12 (alias mkusb-dus) to do that in a safe way. Try with mkusb-plug again after that. – sudodus Apr 30 '20 at 17:17

You can use dd command

sudo dd status=progress if=name-of.iso of=/dev/sdb

if == input file of == output file

  • I don't think cloning with dd works to make a boot drive from a Windows 10 iso file. Have you tried? – sudodus Apr 30 '20 at 12:33
  • This post details methods that have worked for some (https://askubuntu.com/questions/599746/how-do-i-burn-the-windows-10-iso-to-a-usb) – sc608 Apr 30 '20 at 13:12

I tried all the ways I found on the internet - dd, installing from an repo or from .deb woeusb, the creation partitions by gparted with ntfs and copying the content of the windows-iso with ms-sys mbr etc. All these ways are not working for me. The only way that helped me was:

  1. Re-creation of a new fat32-partition (not ntfs!) on a flash drive with gparted.

  2. Installing unetbootin:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install unetbootin

  3. Creation the bootable flash drive from windows-iso with unetbootin

  4. Setting boot-flag on the flash-partition by gparted
