Write this into the file, replacing with the UUID you copied down in step 2. sudo grub-install -target=i386-pc -boot-directory="//boot" /dev/sdXĬreate a GRUB config file in the USB drive folder boot/grub/ with the name grub.cfg. dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1) and replace with the folder where you mounted the USB drive (which could be like /media//). In the below command, replace /dev/sdX with the device (e.g. Go to the USB drive, and if the folder named boot has uppercase characters, make them all lowercase by renaming it. Mount your Windows ISO or DVD and copy all its files to the USB drive. Copy the UUID somewhere as you will need it. In GParted, right click the USB partition and select Information. Using GParted, rewrite the USB drive's partition table as msdos, format it as NTFS, and then "Manage flags" and add the boot flag.
Install GParted, GRUB, 7z, and NTFS on Ubuntu with: sudo apt-get install gparted grub-pc-bin p7zip-full ntfs-3g It makes it trivial to add/remove ISO files from the USB.Even other Linux distros as long as GParted and GRUB are installed. So the ISO is just copied as a file, directly to the USB's storage partition. Ventoy - is different in that it sets up a 'tiny' operating system on the EFI partition on the USB - which then boots the ISO. WHich can work - but can also be fragile - if the ISO changes, or other things change, it can break the tool.
Both format the USB to exfat (i think) and a few other things, then extracts the files from the ISO file to the USB. If you had used the dd mode of Rufus - then it would have failed. I have found Ventoy to be much easier to use. WoeUSB and WoeUSB-NG are also commonly used, but they can be quirky.
I tend to use VENTOY -> - Its the easiest way to make a USB that can boot a windows 10 iso, and it can also boot other ISO files from the same USB.
