WoeUSB not working

[jesse.bassett]

Hello,
I have Linux Lite 4.8 on an HP Compaq Pro 6000. I tried to put Windows 8.1 on USB via means of WOEUSB. Everything worked properly, however upon booting up the usb, all I saw was a flashing l like icon. What does that mean and how can I fix it?

Did you try with another USB device? Creating a windows USB install media in Linux is fairly easy:
1. Mount the Windows .iso file. You can do that via terminal https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-mount-a...-in-linux/ or using some program like acetoneiso, which by the way is a great tool

Code:

sudo apt-get install acetoneiso

2. Copy the contents of the .iso file to the USB device.
3. Boot the USB Windows install media.
That's it.
I also tried WoeUSB and didn't work for me either but using this did work.
Hope this helps!
