While creating a live Windows 10 USB in Linux is simple and consists of two straightforward steps: Mounting the Windows ISO then copying its content to a usb drive, you may face the following error during the mounting phase :

This disc contains a “UDF” file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 “UDF” file system specification.

The solution is to manually mount it and specify the UDF filesystem type.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Cd into the preferred place where you want to create the mounting directory, in my case: cd /media/mossab
2. Manually create the directory where the iso will be mounted sudo mkdir windows
3. Set the correct permissions: sudo chmod 777 windows/
4. Mount the iso file: sudo mount -t udf DATA/ISO/Win10_x64.iso windows/
   • The -t argument indicates the filesystem type.
   • DATA/ISO/Win10_x64.iso is the path to the iso file.
