    The file system under Linux is ext2, ext3, ext4, and the file system under it is NTFS and the more traditional file system, which can access the FAT32 format of Windows, and for NTFS, the format can also be recognized by some Inux distributions released in recent years. However, there is still a lack of support for Linux's ext2, ext3, ext4, and xfs file system formats.

    Therefore, if your USB flash drive, including the SD card in the mobile phone and other storage devices need to be used under two different systems, Inux and Windows, it is recommended to format the storage device in FAT32 or NTFS format.

    In addition, for FAT32, it is problematic when a single file size is large. For example, if you install the image of win8 and win10 on the Internet, that thing will be as soon as it comes. For such a large file, the FAT32 format is not a no-go.

    In Linux, format the file system type of the USB flash drive to VFAT

    Yes, but there are some compression formats that are not common in both systems.

    How to make a bootable USB flash drive for Windows under Linux?

    The scenario is like this, there is a Windows 10 ISO, and now I want to install it through a USB flash drive, and it is required to support both UEFI (boot bootloader) and legacy (boot bootloader), because there are some old machines that do not support UEFI.

    Now let's analyze the situation:

    1 Windows10's ISO originally supports UEFI, you only need to copy the content of the ISO to the partition of the USB flash drive, and press a certain function key (some machines are F12 keys) when booting up, and a page will appear to select the boot mode and boot disk. All you have to do is select UEFI to boot your USB stick.

    2 To support legacy, you need a bootloader, and grub2 is popular now. All you have to do is generate the grub configuration file and write the grub to the mbr. Write grub to mbr by running grub-install, and the grub configuration file needs to be written by hand.

    Now about the technical specs:

    1 It is recommended that the disk label of the USB flash drive be msdos, because the disk with the GPT label needs a special boot partition to work with Grub2. I haven't tried this and I don't recommend it to everyone.

    2 Partition format, NTFS partition is recommended. As long as the partition size is larger than your ISO, it's fine.

    3 At the beginning of the partition, it is recommended to free up the 2M space at the beginning of the disk, and start the partition from 2M back.

    Now about the implementation:

    The following assumptions assume that the ISO file name is dev sdb and the USB flash drive device is dev sdb

    Both the fdisk and parted commands can be used to view disk labels. To format NTFS under Linux, you may need to find your own tools. No advice is made here.

    1. Mount the ISO and copy all the files in the ISO to the USB flash drive partition.

    mkdir iso

    mount iso

    cp -r iso/* dev/sdb1

    2 Run grub-install

    3 Handwriting Put the following file into the ISO boot grub

    #menuentry "install windows 10"

Of course. You can because Linux uses partition format, which is Ext2 and Swap, which is completely different from WindowsXP. So you can pre-arrange partitions and spaces or install them directly from a virtual machine.

You can disable the network card and then enable it, as long as the system allows you to add it to your home or work network.
