To install Gparted, execute any of the commands below depending on your distribution. It creates, resize, and move partitions, format and also create partition tables. Gparted is a free Disk manager utility available for most Linux distributions. Once the format process complete, you can now create a bootable USB drive of Windows.

You will see a warning – “all data on the volume will be lost.” You can also see the configurations below. That is because the FAT file system only supports a maximum file size of 4GB for any file more extensive than 4GB, use exFAT or NTFS. However, if it’s bigger than that, use the NTFS option as I have done on the image below. Note: If your Windows ISO file is less than 4GB, you can select the FAT option. Enter the Volume Name (can be any) and select the file format you want to use. A window will pop-up listing several options. Select the first option, which is ‘Format.’ Open Settings With your USB selected, click on the Settings button (represented with a gear icon). From the image below, you can see I have my 8GB USB drive selected. The Disk Utility window will open, listing all the available Hard drives and USB drives connected to your PC. Insert/Plug your USB drive and launch the Disks utility from the applications menu.
