[sick fox]

you can use this application. you set it up once on the blankable USB stick, and then drag n drop. #1295816480256163892 message

[steep heron]

do you know how with rufus?

[sick fox]

yes but if it gave you a MMXefi error , last time, no point

[steep heron]

idk what error i got, i got a bsod

[sick fox]

blue screen?

[steep heron]

can you help with rufus?

[sick fox]

hang on.

[steep heron]

i have the iso so i only need to get rufus

[sick fox]

https://youtu.be/CuonyS3xdwg?t=303 <<5:03 Was it THIS blue screen?

[steep heron]

no it was the windows bsod i meant

the :( face

blue screen of death

[sick fox]

oh

ok run up Rufus then

you should be on the latest or nearly the latest version, yes?

[steep heron]

i need 30% or so in my laptop first in case it loses power in installation (so it doesnt die its on 3%)

[sick fox]

plug the charger in

should only ever do installations/ system upgrades/ disk management stuff with the charger plugged in.

[steep heron]

i always do with it plugged in

its about 2% every minute

[sick fox]

is the computer you're trying to boot the usb on made in the last 8 years?

[steep heron]

2021 laptop so yes

[sick fox]

yeah so you'll use GPT and 'for UEFI systems' in the Rufus flasher options

[steep heron]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ill have a look on yt hopefully they dont waste my time again

[sick fox]

the fourth line of adjustable things there ^

file system field, can probably be put to 'exFAT' - not fat 32

[steep heron]

usually it formats by itself when i dont change it

[sick fox]

well as long as it's not fat32 cuz that wont hold the ubuntu iso (too big)

[steep heron]

4gb limit is stupid

6gb iso

[sick fox]

that's why it's adjustable. other wise use ventoy in the first link i put. that's why it's honoured in the #1295728709306683482 here. and it's like 6 steps.

[steep heron]

these are the rufus options i have

(ignore the dirty screen)

[sick fox]

idk what "large fat32" is

can't u change it?

put ntfs or exFAT

[steep heron]

i have ntfs and large fat32

but i used the microsoft store version

[sick fox]

use ntfs then

[steep heron]

same options everything ive read says ntfs is bad

and what do i set cluster size?

[sick fox]

well u can try it. 4kb

[steep heron]

gpt or MBR

[sick fox]

gpt

[steep heron]

ok thanks.

[steep heron]

this fine?

@sick fox

-# sorry for ping))

[sick fox]

is drive D: ur usb?

if so, proceed

[steep heron]

yes

apparently linux cant boot from ntfs

[sick fox]

idk man

[steep heron]

thanks for helping tho

[sick fox]

i gave u the best advice in first link

[steep heron]

ill just use large fat32

[steep heron]

windows defender blocks ventoy too

[sick fox]

ofc it does, cuz it's a tool that writes boot sectors
