I'm trying to do a very simple task on my Fedora 32 desktop but somehow
I can't make it happen.
I've downloaded a Windows installer ISO-file from microsoft.com that I
put on a USB-stick and tried to install Windows on physical machine,
but it won't boot from the USB. It shows up in the BIOS boot menu, but
it won't boot.
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.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this nefarious scheming by Linux to stop
people from experimenting with alternative operating systems?
Hi Robin,
Ha! I finally get to answer one instead of always asking
all the questions.

Install WoeUSB (as root):
# dnf install WoeUSB
It comes with a gui and a command line option:
Find your flash drive (sd[x]):
$ ls -al /dev/sd*
I stick it in and pull it out and see who appears
and disappers. You can also us gparted
First, erase your flash drive. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT ONE!!!
# dd bs=4096 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd[x]
Gui:
sudo root -c woeusbgui
Make sure you choose NTFS
Command line:
# woeusb --target-filesystem NTFS --device Win10_2004_English_x64.iso
/dev/sd[x]
This is Linux. Everythig is possible!
:-)
