M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 00:01

what could i change? the in and output?

jonathon · 29 October 2021 00:44

Have you tried booting from it?

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 01:15

Not yet. May this help?

I created the garuda boot stick and a friend said to formate a stick... i need to unmount it and format it and mount it again... but after unmount and format it not appear when i try to mount it again...

I can try to boot from it now... but i dont think its help cause there is nothing on it

jonathon · 29 October 2021 01:22

It sounds like there's something different you're trying to do that's not related to mounting the USB drive - what are you actually trying to do? Create a Garuda installer image?

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 01:24

I tried no booting from the stick... there come just a Black Screen and there Standing GRUB

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 01:28

My Plan is to created a Win 11 Boot Stick... cause Garuda wasnt a good choice... i have tested it 2 Days... I havent found a way to format the Stick.... cause it was previous a Garuda Boot Stick... and a Friend in Discord said me commands to unmount, format and mount... but after format the stick dont show in the tree... I also seen that in the device observer that my stick have 3 Entry dev/sdc ,sdc1 and sdc2.... the sdc said 7,2GiB (all) and sdc1 3,8GiB...

i was wondering why there are 3 entry... is this normal?

SGS · 29 October 2021 08:01

Maybe it is better ask in M$ forum about.

Did you search in web?

Try KDE Partition Manager.

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 08:09

Hi SGS, Nein ich denke MS Forum wäre nicht die richtige Anlaufstelle den aktuell ist ja noch Garuda installiert und ich habe nur einen PC. Daher muss ich den Stick erstnoch flott bekommen

Ich kann mir selber nicht vorstellen wieso der Stick nicht mehr angezeigt wird selbst nach dem Mounten.

Den KDE Partition Manager probiere ich jetzt aus.

Ps: Ich habe nichts gegen Linux und Garuda, habe nach den 2. Tagen nur gesehen das es für mich nicht die richtige Lösung ist. Hatte etwas anderes erwartet daher möchte ich wieder zurück auf Windows

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 08:12

Wie ich in der Windows Umgebungen per Diskpart das ganz einfach formatieren kann etc weiß ich.

Nur fand ich in Linux leider keine ähnliche Variante.

Hoffe ihr könnt mir da helfen

M4DMAXX · 29 October 2021 08:49

SGS Vielen Vielen Dank an dich und das Forum.

Der KDE Partition Manager hat geholfen und ich konnte den Stick nun richtig formatieren und eine Neue FAT32 Partition erstellen.

Wünsche euch viel Erfolg weiterhin doch mich zieht es zurück zu Windows.

Anders als erwartet ist Linux mir zu kompliziert als Normaler IT User ohne viel Erfahrung.

Thx to SGS and the Forum Users.

KDE Partition Manager Works well. I was able to format and created a new Partition

Good Luck and Enjoy, but i switch back to Windows now.

I expected something wrong from Linux and recognize that Linux isnt made for me...
Im just a normal IT User and Gamer and its to complicated for me.

Thx for Your Help

First, format your USB key to either FAT32 or NTFS.
Then, download and install woeusb-gui.
Run Woe from the menu, select the Windows ISO, let it do it's thing,
Then you're done.
