Hope I may ask one more question (not a problem). I have learnt that Windows can only recognize one partition on removable media. But WinToUSB can create 2 partitions.  When I shrunk my Windows 10 installation to create space for cloning a Linux Kubuntu partition onto the same flash drive, I was later able to mount Kubuntu from Windows 10, (see end of https://youtu.be/l9MFxbUI_9Q ) Pls explain!

I am curious about why some of my older MBR tools report the main partition as type 11 (fat32) when it obviously is type 7 (ntfs) - see picture!  Or is it so that removable media has another set of partition types?  Are you using another formatting tool that a normal Windows format?  Please clarify!
   

I installed WinToUSB very well on a 32GB flash drive. When I formatted it afterwards for other uses, it's letting me back only 28GB!

Hi everybody,

i bought a new laptop with w10 and quickly made a raw back up of the hard drive to install a debian base os. I previously did usb backup of w10 with wintousb in order to use it with virtualbox. The usb w10 works well when I boot it directly but bugs when I VBoxManage convertfromraw . Can somebody help me here?

Hi, not sure when it broke, but I can no longer launch EASYUEFI v2.7 I'm running Windows 10 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.351) and it displays the following error.

I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall to no effect.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

We created an ISO file and ran the WintoUSB tool to install Windows to a USB drive. After the installation was completed, we put the stick into the computer we wanted to boot and it came up with the Windows 10 installation program. How can I get it to install?

please help I want comeback to use win to usb again.

I have been using Windows 7 to go for a long time from my external USB 3.0 HDD.
Some time ago I formatted and installed Windows 10 - nothing else has changed.
Windows 10 ran well and felt more performant than Windows 7.
After some automatic updates from Windows 10 I now always get the Error: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE when I try to boot from an USB 3.0 port.
USB 2.0 still works just fine.
I have always been using USB 3.0 and had really nice speed on the system - now with USB 2.0 it's quite slow.

Was anything patched in Windows 10, that makes USB 3.0 not working anymore?
Can this be fixed?

Thank you for your help!

Hello specialists

Probably someone is here to help me. I'm writing from Germany.
I was very excited when I heard about WintoUSB. A tool which should solve my problem.
But I tried to do this with my HP Elitebook 820 Notebook without success.

My goal is to clone my existing installed Windows 7 Enterprise to a 128 GB USB Stick.
Everything seems to be working, but when the SW comes to cloning, I always get the error message " Specified disk not found " !!!
Diskpart does not recognize my USB Stick.
I searched in the Web and found, that there is a problem with USB 3 ports.
First question Why ??? Is WintoUSB not handling USB 3 correctly and why not ? Windows does. And the stick is recognized before cloning !!!
There was a solution to implement a USB 3 driver in the Windows PE, but when I followed the instruction steps, I always get the message, that I can't have access to the image !!! Even I started cmd as administrator !!! I also don't know what driver.
Why is WintoUSB so complicated ?

There's a second question. After WintoUSB formatted my USB stick I have the choice to chose the boot and the system partition on the USB Stick.
The information which shows up, is, that both partitions have the same capacity. That can't by right, can't it? Another issue?

I downloaded WintoUSB 3.2 and I know, that to clone Windows Enterprise I will need the Full version.
I really would like to buy it, if somebody could explain me how to clone my Windows to the USB Sticks in a way having no issues.
Otherwise it's wasting money.

I would appreciate, if someone could help me. It would be perfect, if I have my Win 7 on a Boot USB Stick

Regards from Germany
