I am in need of creating a Windows 8.1 Pro USB bootable. I've tried googling for solutions and all returned Winusb. Upon installing winusb, these errors shows up on the CLI input sudo apt-get update:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/colingille/freshlight/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/colingille/freshlight/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

Thus, when I enter this CLI input sudo apt-get install winusb, this message is shown E: Unable to locate package winusb.

I was wondering is there another way to install/create a Windows8.1 USB Bootable using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the source of the Windows installer is coming from an .iso file.

  • Because colingille didn't update his PPA for 14.04. Here comes the solution for this. – Avinash Raj Jun 22 '14 at 13:28
  • Oh, I see. So how could I create one then? – David B Jun 22 '14 at 13:29
  • That ppa has not been updated for 14.04, but the software itself works in 14.04. You could edit the entry to check for precise instead of trusty. Use software-properties-gtk to edit the source entry and then do sudo apt-get update. – muru Jun 22 '14 at 13:31
  • In fact, given that winusb is likely to remain unchanged for a while, you could simply download the .deb file for winusb for any release from Launchpad and install it using the Software Centre. – muru Jun 22 '14 at 13:37
