I can not figure out how to make a bootable Windows flash drive on Linux! Through the terminal, I standardly write the write code to the USB flash drive, but then it asks for a password, and then it still doesn’t work! When you enter your password, nothing is written, or it says try again later.

Try with dd. Seems to work with windows 7

I write the image through the WinUSB utility ( ubuntovod.ru/soft/winusb.html)
Sometimes for some reason it does not create a boot area, but the second time everything goes fine.

dd if=... of=...
The main thing is to write not to the disk (for example sda) but to the partition (example sda1)
that's all the magic)
