I am trying to mount a Windows 10 Education iso to create a bootable USB, using Ubundu.

When I mount via Archive Manager the file only contains a ReadMe.txt. That only happened to another Windows 10 iso file.

  • Are you sure the download isn't corrupted? – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:00
  • I downloaded the windows 10 Education iso from Microsoft, its official! Maybe I should download again... – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:06
  • that's what I'm saying. Official downloads can get corrupted as much as unofficial ones. – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:11
  • Both times? That's the weird part of it! – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:12
  • it's always possible, especially if you have a bad connection. How exactly are you mounting it and what does the readme contain? – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:13
  • I mount it with the Archive mounter and I cannot understand what the readme writes. I opened it with nano but I got only weird symbols! – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:18
  • "Mounting" with Archive Manager does that. What I commented in your other question was about the standard Disk Image Mounter, also mentioned in the guide you linked there. –  Oct 14 '16 at 19:18

    @Skemelio where exactly are you downloading this from? How big is the downloaded ISO? – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:18
  • @CelticWarrior I also tried with the Furius Iso Mount but then the file was completely empty! – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:20
  • @Zacharee1 I downloaded from Microsoft's dreamspark! The file is 3.9GB. If I only had a windows machine I could have done it right now. I want to make my computer dual-boot windows+ubuntu – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:22
  • @Skemelio Why use Education then? – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:22
  • I'm intrigued, why don't you use the Disk Image Mounter (default and already installed)? It just works, I don't even have Furious installed. –  Oct 14 '16 at 19:23
  • @Zacharee1 I use Education because Microsoft is giving it for free. It does not include any other of Windows 10. Maybe I should install Win7? – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:24
  • @Skemelio install whichever you prefer. However, it seems that you need something that supports the UDF filesystem type. I'd just try burning it to a CD/USB without bothering to mount it or anything. – TheWanderer Oct 14 '16 at 19:25
  • My God! Mounting with Disk Image Mounter did the work! I can see all the files! Jesus cannot believe my eyes! Thanks @CelticWarrior and also Zacharee, appreciated your time! – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:27
  • @Zacharee1 The OP is trying to make a bootable USB to install Windows from Ubuntu following a guide linked in his other question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/837129/why-mounted-iso-is-empty . The said guide mentions Disk Image Mounter explicitly. –  Oct 14 '16 at 19:27
  • Thanks @Zacharee1, at last I am going to continue the effort to install windows through my Ubuntu system – Mr T Oct 14 '16 at 19:29

I ran into the same issue. The solution was to mount it manually as UDF type, like:

mkdir win
sudo mount Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso win/ -o loop -t udf

Mounting with the Disk Image Mounter would do the work, as @CelticWarrior mentioned!
