GNOME Disks provides an intuitive graphical interface to manage storage drives. It comes pre-installed on popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian. If Disks is already available on your system, simply launch it and jump to Step 4.TIP: If GNOME Disks is not installed, use your distribution‘s package manager to install. For example, on Ubuntu/Debian run: sudo apt install gnome-disks

 
        Insert your USB drive and launch GNOME Disks.  
    In the sidebar, click your flash drive‘s entry (check the size to verify)  


  

Select USB in Disks sidebar

 
        Click the menu icon next to the drive name and select "Format Disk" from the context menu.  


  

Format disk menu option

 
        Confirm your selection in the prompt and click "Format" in the dialog after setting "(MBR/DOS)" for the new partition table. This will completely erase all data on the drive.  


  

Format disk confirmation prompt

 
        Wait for formatting to complete. Then click the "+" button to create a new partition.  


  

Create partition button

 
        In the "Create Partition" dialog, set capacity and partition type as NTFS.  


  

Set partition details

 
        Open your Windows 10 ISO image file, right click the icon, and select "Open With Disk Image Mounter". This will mount it as a virtual drive.  
    Open the newly mounted drive, select all files/folders, copy them over to your flash drive partition you just formatted.  


  

Copy Windows ISO contents

 
        After the copy completes, right click the USB partition and eject it safely. The drive is now ready to be used for installing or repairing Windows.  


  

The GNOME Disks utility provides an easy graphical way to format drives and configure partitions. But if you‘re looking for advanced storage management, GParted is an excellent choice. Let‘s see how to create Windows 10 media with it.

I tried several other ones too I tried restoring disk image like i do with linux iso and NOTHING IS WORKING IT JUST WONT WORK MAN.....

what am i doing wrong???

I honestly should never have removed windows from it. I knew I would need that pos OS at some point for something and they seriously make it harder than anything i have ever installed ever, to install on a computer. I don;'t get it man. It's ruining my entire day.
