Problems booting files from my usb
I have successfully exported all the files from an ISO file onto my USB. However, whenever I select my USB from the boot menu, it loads up a black screen. I assume this is because I downloaded a faulty ISO file, but I am unable to remove the files from my USB for some reason. I believe this is because I don't have the right user permissions, but the same thing occurred when I tried removing them via terminal as root. So my question is, how do I replace the files in my USB with ones from a different ISO?
(Edit: I do not believe I installed a malware, since I downloaded this file from the official Microsoft website.)

Re: Problems booting files from my usb
If you try to boot from your USB stick and get a black screen then the firmware bootloader does not recognize the USB as bootable. You said how the stick is recognized (for example, under /dev/sdb), and then use a low-level copy tool (as superuser) to move the one-and-only ISO file to your stick, e.g.
Make sure /dev/sdb is the right device, otherwise you could destroy data on your disks.
Reboot and the OS on the USB stick should start.
Maybe the error lies here. Start your computer in Linux, plug in the USB stick, look (as superuser) withI have successfully exported all the files from an ISO file
Code: Select all
dmesg
Code: Select all
dd if=/path-to-your-iso-file.iso of=/dev/sdb
Reboot and the OS on the USB stick should start.

I followed these instructions, and the USB still won't boot properly. I am positive that I am using the right USB device.

I downloaded Windows 10 from the Microsoft website, and have been attempting to switch operating systems for compatibility with my work.I think maybe it would help if the OP clarifies ,exactly what ISO file, ? Where did they get
it ?
Re: Problems booting files from my usb
OP, sorry to sound brash, but what the hell are you talking about? Which file did you download from the MS website? Which OS are you trying to use, what are you even trying to accomplish? How did you 'transfer' the ISO, which software did you use? It's like trying to put together an Ikea cabinet without instructions.

If you used the Windows iso creator (online) then it should give you the option to write it direct to your usb device, it's what I did when I wanted to get rid of all the manufacturers software, and it worked without issue that way.

So why are you asking about this on a Debian, forum ?
Windows 10 is not even Linux, nor Debian.

I am trying to switch to Windows 10 from Debian, and was hoping I could receive some guidance on how to do so. Sorry if my questions seem a little vague, I am fairly new to this operating system.GarryRicketson wrote:So why are you asking about this on a Debian, forum ?

I downloaded Windows 10 Creators edition, and transfered it by using dd if=/path-to-your-iso-file.iso of=/dev/sdb via terminal.Lysander wrote:OP, sorry to sound brash, but what the hell are you talking about?

You can completely 0 out the drive, remove all the files, using the 'dd' command
as mentioned. To install Windows 10 on it, is NOT a Linux or Debian issue. It is a
Microsoft issue.
