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.

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.
