# DEPRECATED. USE VENTOY.

|
# 1. Download Windows 11 image: [link](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sha256sum Win11_English_x64v1.iso
|
|
4bc6c7e7c61af4b5d1b086c5d279947357cff45c2f82021bb58628c2503eb64e Win11_English_x64v1.iso

|
```
|

|
|
# 2. Plug your USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
Linux detected `/dev/sde` as the USB stick, in your case it will most likely take a different name.
|
|
|
|
# 3. Format your USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
Work as root account and make sure to replace `/dev/sde` with your USB flash drive!
|
|
Use `lsblk` and `dmesg | tail -50` commands to locate your USB flash drive.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wipefs -a /dev/sde
|
|
|
|
parted /dev/sde
|
|
(parted) mklabel gpt
|
|
(parted) mkpart BOOT fat32 0% 1GiB
|
|
(parted) mkpart INSTALL ntfs 1GiB 10GiB
|
|
(parted) quit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the drive layout now:
|
|
|
|
> In my case I've used 100% instead of 10GiB when created the "INSTALL" ntfs partition - mkpart INSTALL ntfs 1GiB 100%. But you can use anything that should be larger than 6 GiB to fit the data from Windows ISO image.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
parted /dev/sde unit B print
|
|

# 4. Mount Windows ISO somewhere
|
|
|
|
I mounted it to `/mnt/iso` directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir /mnt/iso
|
|
mount /home/<your user>/Downloads/Win11_English_x64v1.iso /mnt/iso/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 5. Format 1st partition of your USB flash drive as FAT32
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkfs.vfat -n BOOT /dev/sde1
|
|
mkdir /mnt/vfat
|
|
mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/vfat/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 6. Copy everything from Windows ISO image except for the sources directory there
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rsync -r --progress --exclude sources --delete-before /mnt/iso/ /mnt/vfat/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 7. Copy only boot.wim file from the sources directory, while keeping the same path layout
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir /mnt/vfat/sources
|
|
cp /mnt/iso/sources/boot.wim /mnt/vfat/sources/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 8. Format 2nd partition of your USB flash drive as NTFS
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkfs.ntfs --quick -L INSTALL /dev/sde2
|
|
mkdir /mnt/ntfs
|
|
mount /dev/sde2 /mnt/ntfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 9. Copy everything from Windows ISO image there
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rsync -r --progress --delete-before /mnt/iso/ /mnt/ntfs/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 10. Unmount the USB flash drive and Windows ISO image
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
umount /mnt/ntfs
|
|
umount /mnt/vfat
|
|
umount /mnt/iso
|
|
sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# 11. Power off your USB flash drive
|
|
```bash
|
|
udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sde
|
|
```
