In what format should the flash drive under MediaCreationTool be if I then want UEFI?

Question

Windows

I downloaded MediaCreationTool, he needs a flash drive, I give a "zero" flash drive, but he does not see it, because you need to create a partition on the flash drive, when creating a partition by default, it is proposed to format it in NTFS.
Will I be able to boot into UEFI or do I need to format it in FAT32 when creating a partition?

Answer 1

this question is confusing:
- Windows likes to live on NTFS
- UEFI loads the initial boot from a mahogany FAT32 partition
- all this tops lives on a disk with GPT markup
- MediaCreationTool actually partitions the disk ... (or have I forgotten everything, or has everything changed?)
can you offer the program a flash drive with MBR and that's the only problem? ( upd but thunder me, I'm sure I already did this, and got a bootable flash drive)
that is, can I try to prepare a flash drive with GPT or absolutely not partitioned?
many ways:
- Acronid DDS, when choosing a device, it is on the "letter", has such an item in the local menu ("clear" actually removes the markup altogether). It's not worth installing Acronid DDS for this. And it's not hard to find a bootable ISO. I recommend based on WinPE and, of course, fresher
- the Windows diskpart will easily do the same. but you will erase your fingers to tell. sorry, but in google
- under any linux, even with live sit, on the command line (under root, but live it without a password. suin the terminal you are already god root )dd if=dev/zero of=dev/sdXdev/sdXthis is your flash drive in some abstract naming. it is easy to find out the specific naming in advance (the main thing is that you don’t have flash drives of the same size inserted) with the command, the command lsblkoutput is intuitive, and most importantly, it contains the volume of the device. this is a reliable way to find out which letter of the Latin alphabet, and substitute in dev/sdXinstead of X.. well, yes .. the process is not fast .. there is a syntax option to write down the first few bytes or kilobytes .. but:
- I don’t remember it
- and I’m already chopping
ps well, or vice versa - almost everything is higher in the furnace, because there is a lot of software that does not see zero flash drives (which I painted) point-blank. create a section, any, then set the MediaCreationTool again
p.s. another option. clumsily reliable. ask MediaCreationTool to create an iso image. then roll it up at least on a pig (for fresh, double-sided will be needed, more than 5 gig), or on a USB flash drive. if it's free on a Rufus flash drive, you can UlnraIso, it's not expensive, there are many other HIV, it's easy to find a pirate too ... but if you don't know more or less worthy sources of non-infectious cut, Rufus is better
