How can i install my windows 7 iso to a flash drive? dd seemed to have worked, but when i booted it did not work, saying grub: no such partiton Which is odd, considering i did not remember installing grub. Does this mean that it's in the iso? or that it's persistent from a previous install, and even formatting won't remove it? Very confused.

Tried: unetbootin, than boot, just boot looped into 'default'

winusb: Failed with error code 512

dd, than boot

format, dd, than boot.

re-downloading the iso from Microsoft store, format, dd

format to ntfs, unetbootin version 494, boot, blinking line on the top left

I figured it out. Windows has a unique bootloader that unetbootin - designed for linux - doesn't correctly see and use. Used a friends computer and made a flash drive with rufus with no problem whatsoever. Thanks for being completely useless for three months.
