One final issue I have with the utility, although rather minor, is that there is absolutely no percentage to completion meter that measures an actual step in the process, save for the part when 7zip extracts files from the ISO.
For instance, I was at a step where a drive was formatting and there was a progress bar with something in it, but nothing moved at all for about two minutes before moving on to the next step.
Since this utility appears to be based off of Nullsoft's Installer System, this probably shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. With all that said, when it comes to getting your Linux fix without touching the disc burner, Universal USB Installer does get the job done nicely in a Windows environment. No need to crack out fancy command line parameters, like calling dd, which can be rather crude and lacking in information.

Exit out of command prompt and click the big Install button to proceed with the installation as you normally would. You will be prompted now to select your Windows edition. Note: This will not work if you are using a DVD disc to install from.
In that case you have to remove the file beforehand, using the "deletion bit" trick as described in this article, or extract the ISO file and remove the file, then build a modified ISO file and write that to the DVD disc. You will need dedicated software for extracting and building ISO files. This is why it did not work for you. If you read the readme. I just tested and verified this. The utility modified 4 bytes in my original ISO file so it's really a 32 bit change, not 1 bit, or 4 bit at very least.
If they match, then you're not doing it right. But the SHA-1 value of the modified file should match to that of a second copy, or third copy, or forth copy I just thought you should know why you had that odd result.
For a USB flash drive, you can always remove that ei. J W Stuart Volunteer Moderator. I choose the default location for the download. Start by double clicking on the. This browser is no longer supported.
