Bug ID: 450731
Summary: Can't create bootable USB stick for Windows and Tails
using Partitionmanager, Unetbootin or Terminal, Rufus
on Windows works.
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 21.12.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Delete the partitions of a USB Stick
2. Create a new GPT partition table
3. Create a new ext4 partition
4. save
5. restore the partition using an .img or .iso file
6. try to boot into it
OBSERVED RESULT
I cant boot, after selecting the stick I get immediately reverted to the
"select boot medium" window in BIOS.
The same happened when I tried to create a bootable stick with unetbootin or
the normal terminal way. I tried to do it about 5 times.
In Windows, using Rufus, it worked perfectly at the first try.
EXPECTED RESULT
Why should Linux have problems creating a bootable Linux USB drive?
What can Rufus do what the Linux programs cant?
