Запись windows iso на флешку debian — Ваш верный помощник с OS Windows

Задача:
Дано:

Есть лицензионный диск с Windows 7 или ISO-образ этого диска
Есть флешка, превосходящая своим объёмом размер диска или ISO-образа
Есть ноутбук, или системный блок, на который нужно установить Windows
Есть компьютер с установленным Debian GNU/Linux (в моём случае 8.0)
Нет привода для чтения дисков, ни встроенного, ни переносного
Нет компьютера с установленной Windows 7

Найти:

Как записать дистрибутив Windows 7 на флешку, чтобы с неё можно было загрузиться?

Решение задачи:

Подготовка

1. Для начала, если у вас диск с Windows 7, то нужно создать из него ISO-образ.
Для этого можно просто выполнить в консоли команду:

# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/user/windows7image.iso

разумеется, диск должен быть вставлен, а устройство, которое представляет собой CD-ROM должно быть в /dev/cdrom. Если нет — узнайте где оно (например /dev/sr0) и измените строку.
Путь к файлу тоже стоит установить свой собственный, врядли в системе вас зовут user.

2. Установка ПО:
Установим Unetbootin, который понадобится для создания загрузочного диска, и какую-нибудь утилиту для разбивки диска, в моём случае это partitionmanager (из набора KDE), также, полным аналогом является gparted, а если вам проще разбивать диск в консоли через fdisk или cfdisk — можете вообще не ставить никаких GUI-инструментов для этого.

# apt-get install unetbootin partitionmanager

Первое форматирование флешки

Обычно на флешках нет таблицы разделов, а, вместо этого, вся флешка отформатирована в FAT32. Нам нужно создать на ней таблицу разделов, один единственный раздел, и отформатировать его в FAT32.
Это нужно для того, чтобы обмануть Unetbootin. В чём заключается обман, будет объяснено похже.

С помощью partitionmanager, gparted или fdisk нужно сделать следующее:
1) Если на флешке нет таблицы разделов — создать её. Тип таблицы разделов — DOS
2) Создать Primary раздел, занимающий ВСЁ место, и отформатировать его в FAT32
3) Включить на разделе флаг Boot

После того, как эти задачи будут выполнены — нужно
4) Выдернуть флешку и вставить её обратно

Запуск и обман Unetbootin

Unetbootin в своей работе нуждается во флешке, отформатированной в FAT32, однако, чтобы флешка с файлами Windows 7 стала загрузочной, она должна быть отформатирована в NTFS. А c NTFS наш Unetbootin, начиная с какой-то древней версии, не работает. Сделано это потому, что драйвера NTFS в Linux долгое время были не очень стабильными и надёжными, а в проблемах, возникающие из-за этого, винили Unetbootin. Также, сделать загрузочную флешку с Linux’ом (для чего изначально предназначался Unetbootin) в файловой системе NTFS не получится.

В связи с вышеописанным, Unetbootin НЕ УВИДИТ вашу флешку, если она будет отформатирована в NTFS.

Итак, запускаем Unetbootin, заранее вставив подготовленную флешку.
1. В нижнем поле «Носитель» должно появиться ваше устройство, с именем, похожим на /dev/sdc1, выбирайте его.
2. Поставьте галочку около пункта «Образ диска»
3. Справа от этого пункта, нажав на кнопку «…» выберите файл ISO-образа.
4. Всё! Больше пока НИЧЕГО нажимать не надо! Закрывать Unetbootin тоже не надо!

«Подстава» NTFS

Теперь, когда Unetbootin уверен, что ему дали правильное FAT32-устройство, нужно сменить файловую систему на NTFS

1. Если флешка была примонтирована — отмонтируем её.
2. Запустил partitionmanager или gparted, форматируем раздел на флешке в формат NTFS. Если лень запускать GUI-приложения, можно сделать это командой:

где вместо sdX1 нужно подставить имя вашего устройства, например sdc1.
3. После форматирования, вытаскиваем флешку, и вставляем её обратно, после чего монтируем. В KDE, Gnome и прочих *DM вы легко это сделаете одним кликом мышки. В консоли же старая добрая команда:

# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flash

Итак, после монтирования флешка всё ещё имеет то имя устройства (скажем /dev/sdc1) про которое помнит Unetbootin, но уже имеет другую файловую систему. На самом деле, Unetbootin’у всё равно какая ФС на флешке, ведь он просто копирует файлы в папку, куда примонтирована флешка.

Завершение

1. В окне Unetbootin нажимаем «Ok» после чего начинается процесс копирования установочных файлов Windows на флешку.
2. По завершению Unetbootin предлагает перезагрузиться, что нужно делать только в том случае, если Windows вы хотите установить на тот же самый компьютер.
3. Если перезагрузку вы не нажали — перед выдёргивание флешки не забудьте её по-хорошему отмонтировать.

Можно устанавливать

Если компьютер не грузится с флешки — нужно настроить его BIOS соответствующим образом, либо выбрать вариант загрузки с флешки, нажав на начальном экране BIOS’а кнопку F10 или F12 (у каждого производителя это что-то своё).

WoeUSB is the best way to create a bootable Windows 11 USB on Linux. It takes care of the formatting, flashing, and other configuration settings. All the user has to do is provide a Windows 11 ISO.

The WoeUSB app isn’t installed on any Linux operating systems by default. Thankfully, you’ll be able to set up the app using the commands below.

Ubuntu

Sadly, Ubuntu doesn’t provide WoeUSB in their official software repositories, and past PPAs are no longer available. As a result, Ubuntu users will need to get it working with the Python3 package tool.

You must set up the dependencies required to run the software to start. Using the apt install command down below, set up the packages.

sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0

With all of the packages set up and configured, use the pip3 install command to download and install the latest version of WoeUSB on your Ubuntu system.

sudo pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

Debian

Like Ubuntu, there is no way to get the WoeUSB app through official software sources, so it must be installed via Python. Use the apt-get install command and set up the latest dependency packages.

sudo apt-get install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0

Once all of the packages are configured and installed on your system, you can install the latest version of the WoeUSB application on your Debian Linux system.

sudo pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

Arch Linux

The WoeUSB application is available in the Arch Linux Community software repository. However, this version doesn’t ship with a GUI. To get the GUI version, install WoeUSB with the commands below.

wget https://builds.garudalinux.org/repos/chaotic-aur/x86_64/woeusb-ng-0.2.10-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

sudo pacman -U woeusb-ng-0.2.10-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

Fedora

The WoeUSB application is in the official Fedora Linux package repositories. However, the Python version of the app works much better. Install the dependency packages using dnf install and set up the app using pip3 install to get it set up.

sudo dnf install git p7zip p7zip-plugins python3-pip python3-wxpython4

sudo pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

OpenSUSE

To get the latest version of WoeUSB working on your OpenSUSE Linux system, head over to the WoeUSB-ng page on the OpenSUSE build site. Then, select your operating system, and choose the “1 Click Install” button to install the software to your system.

Generic Linux

If you’re using a Linux OS not covered by the instructions in this guide, you’ll still be able to install the software through Python 3. However, you’ll first need to set up the package dependencies.

To create a bootable Windows 11 USB on Linux, follow the step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1: Open up the app menu and launch “Woeusb-ng.” When you launch the app, you’ll be asked to enter your password. Using the keyboard, enter your password to access the app.

Step 2: Once the Woeusb-ng application is open, you must download Windows 11. Head over to the Windows 11 download page and find “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO).”

Step 3: After locating “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO),” find the “Select Download” menu and choose “Windows 11 (multi-edition ISO),” and click on the blue “Download” option to download the ISO file.

Step 4: Once the Windows 11 ISO is done downloading, go to WoeUSB and find the “From a disk image (iso)” area. Click on the “None” button to bring up a pop-up window.

Step 5: Use the pop-up window to browse for the Windows 11 ISO you downloaded previously. Then, find “Target device” and select your USB flash drive. Finally, click on the “Install” button when you’re ready to begin.

Step 6: After selecting the “Install” button, WoeUSB will present a message. This message states, “Are you sure? This will delete all your files and wipe out the selected partition.” Click the “Yes” button to continue.

The installation process will take time to complete, as the Windows 11 ISO file is enormous. When the process is complete, you will see “Installation succeeded!”

Other ways to create a Windows 11 USB on Linux

While the WoeUSB app is undoubtedly useful, it isn’t the only way to create a live Linux USB. It is also possible to create one by hand by following the step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1: Head over to the official Windows 11 download page, find “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO),” and download your ISO.

Step 2: After downloading your ISO file, install the gparted app, plug in your USB flash drive, and open the Gparted application.

Step 3: Select your USB flash drive inside of Gparted. Then, click on the “Device” menu. Next, select “Create Partition Table,” select the “Gpt” option, and click “Apply.”

Step 4: Right-click on “unallocated” and select the “New” option in the right-click menu. Create a new Fat32 partition with 1024 MB in size.

Be sure to label it “BOOT” in all caps.

Step 5: After creating the Fat32 partition, right-click on the unallocated space, select the “New” option and create a new NTFS partition with the remaining space left over. Be sure to label this partition “INSTALL.”

Step 6: Open the Linux file manager, select downloads, and right-click on the Windows 11 ISO file. Select “Open with disk image mounter.”

Alternatively, you can mount the ISO with the following commands.

mkdir -p ~/win11iso/

sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/Win11_English_x64v1.iso ~/win11iso/

Step 7: Once the image is mounted, copy all files to the flash drive to create your Windows 11 live USB.

Replace /dev/sdx with the device name of your USB drive. For my case, I will execute the following code:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

Unmount disk

Step 5: Write the Windows ISO to the USB Drive

Write the Windows ISO to the USB drive using the following command:

sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/windows.iso of=/dev/sdx status=progress && sync

Replace /path/to/windows.iso with the path to the Windows ISO file and /dev/sdx with the device name of your USB drive.

Example:

sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/fosslinux/Documents/Win11_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 status=progress && sync

Write the Windows ISO to USB

The bs=4M option sets the block size to 4 megabytes, which can improve performance. The status=progress option displays the progress of the write operation. The sync command ensures that all data has been written to the USB drive before the command exits.

Step 6: Eject the USB Drive

Once the write operation is complete, eject the USB drive from your computer.

Бывают случаи, когда вам нужно записать Windows на флешку в Linux, например, когда вы хотите поставить эту систему второй для использования специализированных программ, или вам нужно переустановить операционку своим знакомым. Или же есть пользователи Linux, которые решили вернуться на Windows, но единственную флешку уже перезаписали под Linux LiveUSB.

Загрузочная флешка Windows в Linux создается достаточно просто. Я предлагаю несколько способов решения этой проблемы. Все их я перечислил ниже.

Содержание статьи

Загрузочная флешка Windows в Linux
Выводы

Загрузочную флешку можно создать с помощью терминала или специальных графических утилит. Настоятельно рекомендую отформатировать флешку в Fat32 (или Exfat) перед использованием любого из предложенных методов. Форматирование можно выполнить через Gparted, сfdisk+mkfs или через usb stick formatter (форматирование USB флеш накопителя).

Способ 1. Утилита USB Image Write

Для создания флешки можно воспользоваться утилитой Запись образа на USB. В некоторых дистрибутивах она уже предустановленна (Ubuntu, Mint и др.):

Выбрать образ в графе Write image образ и в поле to выбрать флешку. Далее нажимаем Write.

Способ 2. Утилита WoeUSB

Пожалуй, это самый простой способ создания. Установка в Ubuntu выполняется с помощью таких команд:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

sudo apt update

sudo apt install woeusb

Откройте утилиту в меню приложений:

Интерфейс простой. Нажмите на кнопку Обзор со значком папки и выберите образ. Target device это флешка, на которую будет идти запись, если у вас их несколько выберите нужную. Ещё есть поле File system, где нужно выбрать какую файловую систему будете использовать. Рекомендую FAT. Затем нажмите Install и дождитесь окончания.

При появлении ошибки с кодом 256 Source media is currently mounted, размонтируйте образ ISO с Windows, если вы его смонтировали. При ошибке Target device is currently busy, извлеките флешку, затем снова подключите её. Если не сработало, попробуйте отформатировать её.

Способ 3. Терминал и Gparted

Положите образ в домашнюю папку и переименуйте его в windows.iso во избежание проблем с пробелами. Затем перейдите в терминале в домашнюю папку

cd ~

Запустите терминал через главное меню или с помощью сочетания клавиш Ctrl + Alt + T затем используйте команду dd для записи образа на флешку:

dd if=/windows.iso of=/dev/sdX

Замените X на букву вашей флешки! Узнать её можно через Gparted. В правом верхнем углу есть кнопка переключения дисков:

Тот диск который соответствует размеру вашей флешки и есть ваша флешка. В моем случае флешка на 32 гб это /dev/sdb. Значит команда будет иметь вид:

dd if=/windows.iso of=/dev/sdb

Дождитесь окончания записи и извлеките флешку.

Выводы

Как видите, создание загрузочной флешки Windows в Linux не представляет сложности. Это были все способы, которые я знаю. Если они вам помогли, напишите об этом. Если вы знаете еще способы, обязательно напишите о них в комментариях!
