Bootable Usb Stick under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS


I want to make a bootable usb stick with an windows image, but there is always an error message. I use WoeUSB.

Code:
Installation failed!
Exit code: 256
Log:
WoeUSB v@@WOEUSB_VERSION@@
==============================
Mounting source filesystem...
Error: File "/media/woeusb_source_1545496653_10560/sources/install.wim" in source image has exceed the FAT32 Filesystem 4GiB Single File Size Limitation and cannot be installed.  You must specify a different --target-filesystem.
Refer: https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB/wiki/Limitations#fat32-filesystem-4gib-single-file-size-limitation for more info.
Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_source_1545496653_10560"...
You may now safely detach the target device
I did already in the terminal umount /dev/sdb1 and and unlock from the launcher, format with gparted fat and ntfs but no success.

it is written: You must specify a different --target-filesystem (probably ntfs or exfat)

Can you show us which error you got when you tried NTFS?

you need to explain what are you doing, just dropping in an error message is meaningless.
Actually the last error message means nothing: /dev/sdb1 was not mounted, therefore cannot umount.

I've never used this software but the tutorial on it at the link below states that it requires an ntfs formatted disk.

https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/

And as stated above, the message shows that the filesystem on the partition you tried to unmount was not mounted and you did it as a user without root/sudo privileges which is generally necessary.

Do not tell us what do you want, but exactly what did you make and what's happened. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-ques...html#beprecise

My System is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / Intel Core i3 CPU M390 2.67 Ghz x 4 / 64 bit / Memory 3.7 Gb

Usb Stick ScanDisk Ultra Usb 3.0 16Gb (but i tried different sticks)

At first I started WoeUSB, than I select the WIN10.iso, than i put in the Usb Stick to my Usb Hub, than recognizes ubuntu the stick
and I have two times to press refresh at WoeUSB software.

After pressing install appears the error message:

Installation failed!
Exit code: 256
Log:
WoeUSB v@@WOEUSB_VERSION@@

ok, so start over again.
umount/eject/remove the usb stick first. Wait a bit and put it back into the hub. Again wait until ubuntu reports it is ready. Next umount it again, but do not eject or remove. Next start WoeUSB and try to install.
please post again all the steps you made in case of error and also the error message.

I think I have to umount from the Terminal, but there occurs an error:

berni@berni:~$ umount /dev/sdb1
Error unmounting block device 8:17: GDBus.Errorrg.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: Command-line `umount "/media/berni/Win 7 64 bi"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: umount: /media/berni/Win 7 64 bi: not mounted

From the graghical interface it is only 'Unlock from Launcher' or 'Eject' possible.

I think umount/eject/remove are three different actions, isn't it ?

Umount by Terminal, Eject from graphical interface and remove is a physical action.

The next error message occurs when i want to eject:

Unable to eject 16 GB Volume
Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: Command-line `umount "/media/berni/Win 7 64 bi"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: umount: /media/berni/Win 7 64 bi: not mounted

It is possible to post screenshots or similar things?
