Just to give an update for anyone who find this, I was never able to get the HVM to boot the USB. I booted the HVM with a bootable iso with grub on it and then tried to attach the usb as a device and boot from there, but all the bootable isos I tried would not recognize the Qubes attached virtual device. I ended up installing Windows 10 on a secondary hard drive. Unfortunately when things don't work and they need to work, the only option is to sacrifice some security. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
