WinUSB - installation failed, 32512

Question

I want to create a bootable usb flash drive with Windows. But whatever USB flash I use - with NTFS or FAT32 or EXT4, I always get this error: installation failed, 32512

The size of iso file is 4.3Gb, but that shouldn't be a problem for NTFS or EXT4.

What's the matter?

P.S. I figure the button Refresh isn't working properly, it just doesn't the refresh the list of devices when I click on it.

Solution

You can use mkusb-nox or guidus (the new version). These programs work with the current Ubuntu versions. See this link,

How can I create a Windows bootable USB stick using Ubuntu?

and these links,

help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/gui#Installation

Should work with minimal instructions

You didnt flag the pen drive as bootable under gparted.

@Virusboy, why do you think so and how do I flag it?

[Virusboy]

From ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1509175&highlight=usb This is easy. I have done it. 1. sudo apt-get install gparted 2. open gparted -> format stick to ntfs -> put bootable flag (right click in gparted - manage flags) 3. extract win7.iso to usb stick or if you have live dvd just copy contents to usb stick

@Virusboy, once again: why do you think I didn't set the flag "bootable"?

[Virusboy]

I had one of those ideas that seemed right

@Virusboy, the "boot" flag is set.
