Yes, Windows do break installation image: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2051 Some excerpt: the core of the issue is that the default modern Windows behaviour is that, whenever you plug a disk with a file system that Windows can recognize, it creates a System Volume Information\ directory on that file system, that contains a single file called IndexerVolumeGuid. So the problem is that, after a Windows user writes the Qubes image in dd mode, the FAT32 ESP gets mounted by Windows, which results in the creation of the directory and file above. Of course, this means that the FAT32 index gets modified and fails the byte comparison... As you can see in the issue history, we're trying to prevent this by providing those files in installation image. It is in R3.2-rc images, but not R3.1. So hopefully should be better in new release. Unless Windows create the other file ("WPSettings.dat")... - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
