Why is it not possible to burn a boot disk for Windows with Linux?

Question

mint

I've been trying to create a bootable USB flash drive for Windows 7 for 5 hours already. Linux Mint is installed on the laptop, the image is working (tested through VirtualBox).
Bios simply does not want to start my image. He sees the flash drive and it is in the first place in the Boot Menu, but instead of the boot screen, I immediately start Linux. Used different programs. First Unetbootic, then WINusb, tried to record with the standard KDE application. Nothing works. I think the whole problem is in the Linux layout.
Until tomorrow, you need to reinstall 3 laptops, but the flash drive is not created. Help me please.

Answer 1

I used to have the same problem at work. Either one image is not recorded, then another. Changed programs, flash drives. In the end, he spat and put a laptop with Windows in the nightstand - Rufus records almost everything. Then, however, I bought a case for Zalman hdd with ODD emulation from iso files.
So I advise you - take and write down the image from under Windows. Don't waste your time on such nonsense.

Answer 2

on Ubuntu always rolls use case WoeUsb burned 10 and 7 version images. (WoeUsb, if I'm not mistaken, an updated version of WINusb,)

Answer 3

The easiest way is to use dd. However, it requires poking around in the console.
If you don’t want to do this, then just install an additional graphical utility, such as Etcher, and burn the image. The interface is simple, literally 3 buttons, it works fine.
