Hey Guys
 
Trying to write ISO as DD with rufus onto my external HDD. When I use rufus, 
tell it to read all files and select the iso, confirm I want it as dd image and 
not as iso then I hit start. The bugger gets to around 15% after like 4 hours 
then fails with an error message. Error message just says write failure.  
 
The HDD works fine but there’s some issue with my windows 10 laptop from 
formatting it properly. I had to download minitool partition wizard as windows 
couldn’t partition or format it. 
 
Anyone know any other dd writer that works on windows? Or anything else I can 
try? 
All I want to do is install qubes onto this 2TB external HDD. Any advice 
greatly appreciated xxx

Two notes:
1. if you do not find any better way, you may boot a live linux distribution 
over your windows installation without damaging it.
2. To install Qubes onto this 2TB external HDD I imagine you need another 
source (such as a USB pendrive) for keeping the Qubes iso installer. Then, 
installation should start with the pendrive and the 2TB HDD will be the target. 
Once I did that and it worked.
Best
Fran
