Description  : A utility that enables you to create your own bootable Windows installation

             : USB storage device from an existing Windows Installation disc or disk image.

Note that you have to format the USB drive as NTFS.   You can't use dd because the Windows installer won't run from

the DVD disk format when using a USB stick.

 

ERROR:  '/run/media/bobg/4C60-B824' is not a block device

I found this in my notes, apparently Sam Sieb suggested it as a method
of writing to a storage device, a flash drive in this case.

You have to specify the USB device as /dev/sdX.   The WoeUSB git link has some examples.
