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.
