Hei slitaz users!

Thank you!

try this (not sure if it works with windows iso):
dd if=PATH-TO-WIN.iso of=/dev/sda bs=4M
before that make sure if /dev/sda/ is the correct path to usb flash drive:
# fdisk -l

Okay.. i've tried: dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows 7 Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4
M
Didn't work... the console displays te following:
Command line: dd if 7 Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4M
BusyBox v1.18.4 (2012-03-14 03:32:25 CET) multi-call binary.
Usage: dd [if=FILE] [of=FILE] [ibs=N] [obs=N] [bs=N] [count=N] [skip=N]
[seek=N] [conv=notrunc|noerror|sync|fsync]
Copy a file with converting and formatting
Options:
if=FILE Read from FILE instead of stdin
of=FILE Write to FILE instead of stdout
bs=N Read and write N bytes at a time
ibs=N Read N bytes at a time
obs=N Write N bytes at a time
count=N Copy only N input blocks
skip=N Skip N input blocks
seek=N Skip N output blocks
conv=notrunc Don't truncate output file
conv=noerror Continue after read errors
conv=sync Pad blocks with zeros
conv=fsync Physically write data out before finishing

Create a bootable Windows VISTA, 7 or Windows 8 install USB drive from ISO or DVD with Linux

Okay, I don't know what's the problem.
mkdir /mnt/iso -done
mount w7 /mnt/iso -o loop -here comes the problem...
Output: mount: mounting w7 on /mnt/iso failed: No such file or directory
My iso is named w7, why it does not work?
Offline
mount /home/tux/windows/w7.iso /mnt/iso -o loop -solved
But now I have problems with mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb -t ntfs-3g
my usb stick is on /media/disk ...
Offline
mount /media/disk /mnt/usb -t ntfs-3
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb -t ntfs-3g
Output for both:
mount: mounting /media/disk on /mnt/usb failed: No such device

Devices are mounted to a folder which is called the mount point.
Unless it's a loop mounted iso or filesystem.
Use [c]fdisk -l[/c] as root to see the devices on your system.
After you determine which device is the flash drive mount it to /media/flash
[c]mount[/c] will output what devices are mounted where.
If your usb flash drive which you statedm is /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/flash
then skip the mount command and cp the files to /media/flash
[c]cp -a /mnt/iso/* /media/disk[/c]

I think that the problem has come from the spaces
in the name of the file iso

dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows 7 Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4
As yves04 says, the problem is the spaces, 2 ways around that are
dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows\ 7\ Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4or, this may be easier to understand,
dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows?7?Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4I have doubts about this thread.
I am a Windows 10 user and create a bootable USB ,But the burn program failed.
Part of the reason, I admit, is that I'm not proficient in computer operations, but the overwhelming majority of the reasons are that Windows 7/Windows 8 doesn't work for Windows 10.(Windows 10 A 64-bit )
Any methods ,

Tamlsfery - I am not a windows user but made a bootable USB stick using etcher..and yep there is windows and linux versions of etcher at the site below:
Part from instruction for making a boot-up stick using mac:
they use Etcher to make the install media - a 2GB USB flash drive.
