Asked By TechieTurtle88 On

Hey everyone, I used to have two SSDs—one for Windows and another for Pop!_OS. I was trying to switch to Zorin and accidentally erased my Windows installation during the process. Now, I'm looking for help on how to reinstall Windows. I can't seem to flash it using Balena Etcher or Ventoy, as they both failed. Any suggestions or recommendations would be really appreciated!

First things first, take a deep breath! Do you have any USBs with a bootable OS? If so, install that on one drive. Once you've got a working OS, you can use tools like Etcher or Rufus to download the OSs you want. Good luck!

If all else fails, check out this tool: https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng. The Windows 11 ISO requires specialized tools, so make sure you’re using something that can handle it.

For making a Windows Installer on Linux, you might want to try using Ventoy or Woeusb-ng. Balena Etcher and similar imaging tools don't work for this purpose. If possible, the best way is to create the Windows Installer USB using the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool on a Windows machine. You may need to borrow a friend's computer or visit a local store to get that done.
