I built a new pc but didn’t have another windows device to make a bootable usb with. I downloaded a program called “uubyte” which is supposed to allow Mac users to create bootable windows usb drives, and after burning my usb, this error popped up on my pc

#

I don’t know what to do and could really use some help

#

If anyone knows an alternative way to get a bootable windows usb drive on a mac that would also be helpful

What format type is your usb?

safe garnet
#

Fat32 I think

#

I’ve tried fat

#

The other type of fat I mean

#

Have you tried a different usb port?

safe garnet
#

Yea trued all of them

#

*tryed

#

Okay just to get those out the way

#

Format the usb to Fat32

#

Then open the windows ISO folder on your Mac

#

Then just copy all files over to usb

I have to eat dinner and will try to do that afterwards

Thanks

# safe garnet Same error

Considering you're using a mac you're going to need to use parallels, UTM, or any other virtual machine software in order to run windows, pass the flash drive to the vm, and then use any windows tool to do it (rufus, ventoy, balena etcher, etc..)

safe garnet
#

So use a vm?

#

Just copying the contents of the iso won't work properly without extra steps that are a massive pain to do in macOS, blame apple

#

Ye

safe garnet
#

Is there a good free one you know of?

nimble jasper
#

You can always just use the free trial for parallels, it's the most seamless and simple way of going about it

#

Otherwise the only software I've used was UTM, a little more tinker heavy but works

I tryed urn but it took about an hour to start and said it was missing system 34 so I couldn’t use it
