  1. how should i configure a bootable usb?


    I have downloaded the windows 10 iso from microsoft and i want to put it on a usb-stick to install it to a computer i'm building.

    In order to do that, i installed rufus. But the problem with this is that the new version doesn't allow me to use a gpt partitioning scheme (i'm assuming i have to use this one, because my motherboard has uefi. It's an asus prime A320M-K.) But with gpt selected i can only format the usb drive with ntfs file format. And i'm not sure about it, but i've heard that windows installation can run into problems if ntfs is used. But i'm not sure. That's why i'm asking.


    i tried setting rufus up so that it used fat32 file format (i think that was meant for uefi/legacy bios motherboards, but i'm not sure of that.) but the problem i run into then is that the windows iso file contains a file larger than 4 gb. and fat32 can't handle that. So i'm probably forced to use ntfs.


    So, my questions:

    1. can i just use rufus to create a bootable usb-drive and have it set to ntfs file format

    2. does it in this case matter if i use gpt or mbr? i've heard that i should use gpt if it's an uefi board (which it is), but i'm just not sure and i don't want to screw things up.


    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!
