Here's the file list for my root directory just in case:

Reason: Mistake
gives you mount points, pick the right one.
cd into where your iso is at then issue the command from there, else give it absolute path to iso.
try getting a new iso...
Still no luck, with everything typed in properly I'm getting this:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# woeusb \
> --target-filesystem NTFS \
> --device /home/madmin/Downloads/Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.iso /dev/sdb

==============================
Mounting source filesystem...
Wiping all existing partition table and filesystem signatures in /dev/sdb...
wipefs: error: /dev/sdb: probing initialization failed: No medium found
The command "wipefs --all "${target_device}"" failed with exit status "1", program is prematurely aborted
Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_source_1549392254_15236"...
You may now safely detach the target device
When I tried to format the flash drive, I chose to erase everything on it (warning this will take longer etc.), it took a half hour because it's 32 GiB. Before I did this the size of the flash drive said something like 27 GiB in the disks graphical utility, but afterwards it just shows a blank. Did I ruin the brand new flash drive already...
