I've tried to install the same ISO-file in Boxes and that went
fine.
I've tried both Brasero and Disk Image Writer, I've tried two
different
USB-sticks and two different physical target machines.
Boxes will make it a DVD drive, not USB.
Isn't Brasero only for writing to optical media? Anyway, I would
just
use dd to write it to the flash drive.
In a terminal (change sdc to whatever your flash drive is):
sudo dd if=windows.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress
Same result.
Also tested creating a bootable USB-stick with a Centos ISO-file. No
problem.
Maybe that file can't be booted from usb. Are there any instructions
from Microsoft about how to do it? I know I have done it a couple of
times in the past.
