Why can't I create usb with Windows from under Linux, do I need a different flash drive?

I'm trying to make a usb flash drive with windows from under linux. As soon as I didn’t try to copy the image through unetbootin and just through dd, and through winusb, I copied it manually and formatted it through fdisk and through gparted to ntfs, and through ms-sys I tried to install the Windows mbr record, all the result is the same - when loading a flash drive black screen and blinking cursor in the left corner.
winusb gives an error log:

Installing grub...
Установка для платформы i386-pc.
grub-install: предупреждение: Попытка установить GRUB на диск с несколькими разметками разделов. Это пока не поддерживается..
grub-install: предупреждение: Встраивание невозможно. При имеющихся параметрах GRUB можно установить только с помощью списка блоков (blocklists). Однако, список блоков является НЕНАДЁЖНЫМ механизмом и его лучше не использовать..
grub-install: ошибка: не будет продолжена с использованием blocklists.
Error occured !
Syncing...
Cleaning...

At the same time, everything is perfectly placed on the virtual machine from this image.
Do I need another flash drive? Or what's the problem?

In general, FIG knows what the problem was.
I bought a new flash drive, downloaded a new image and did everything through the old versions of unetbootin, which can work with ntfs, everything started up.

If Windows 8+ and UEFI - format the partition to FAT32, copy files, set the flag that this is an EFI partition - everything will boot.

Are you doing a Windows installer or are you trying to put it on a USB flash drive?
If the latter, then it does not seem to work (although for XP there seemed to be some kind of crutch).

Didn't find what you were looking for?
