[sf-lug] creating Windows 7 installation USB from Linux, no good

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Hi to all,
Just short note, I had to take brake, however I  tried few other staff without success. I will post my newest attempts today ...

However I'm starting to wonder what are the chances that there are some hardware issues with this particular USB? I plan to take step back and turn it first to Ubuntu Life distro, if it works that should mostly rule out the hardware problem option and I will move back to ntfs formating and Windows install staff.

By the way I used WinUSB utiliity which claimed successfully install everything (after I did terminal based ntfs file system creation - successful one ...) but it did not booted just went directly to my Ubuntu distro.

Sincerely,


FAA

BTW, I got curious and finally got around trying it myself and the winusb (URL below) works (on Debian Wheezy).  The ISO I had on had was the win2k8R2 (essentialy win7), so I would imagine that works too.  Looks like it uses some grub trick to boot the ISO from the USB stick.
