However, if you’re using any Ubuntu-based distro, since Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu, you can install it using the following commands. If you’re on Pop!_OS, Popsicle is already installed on your PC. PopsicleĬompared to BalenaEtcher, Popsicle doesn’t come with many bells and whistles, but it does what it’s intended to do. Extract it and double-click on the app image to run BalenaEtcher. You should end up with something like this ├── autorun.infĮdit/create boot/grub/grub.Head over to the official website and click on the download button this will download a zip file. (Note that the Win7 iso has a boot dir you will need to 'overlap' the boot dir created with grub with the contents of the iso. Install grub to the USB using: grub-install -force -no-floppy -boot-directory=/media///boot /dev/sdXĮxtract the contents of the iso onto the root of the USB stick I personally use 7z for this: 7z x /path/to/win.iso Mount the USB somewhere, for example /media//.(NTFS works too, but for this tutorial I'm using FAT32 because you can make it UEFI bootable this way.) Format the USB to FAT32 and mark it with the 'boot' flag.Once the USB is formatted using the above method, install a Windows partition and edit the Master Boot Record: sudo winusb -install Since WinUSB also works from the command line, you can create a Windows 7 or Windows Vista USB installer by following the command line format given below sudo winusb -format

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight Having said that, the developer has mentioned that the supported images include, “Windows Vista, Seven+.” You can install WinUSB either from the Deb package given at the developer’s website (for Oneiric, Natty, Maverick and Lucid), or from the PPA given below. It is worth mentioning here that the tool might also work with Windows 8 however, it has not been tested.

This will create your Windows Vista/7 installer USB. To create your bootable installer disc, select an ISO image or CD/DVD disc, and click Install Using Archive Manager extract the iso to the drive.

Using gparted format the drive FAT16, set the boot flag.
