Bug Description
I have a .iso image of the Windows 7 (64bit ita) bootanle installation DVD.
I have succesfully booted from the .iso image on a virtual machine, so the .iso image is fine.
I have used Startup Disk Creator (i.e. usb-creator) to create a bootable USB drive from that .iso image, but the result is a USB drive which:
- is not bootable. It fails to boot on both computers where I tried (both with the bios correctly set up to boot from USB if available)
- is not even readable on windows: I plugged it into a Windows (physical) machine, and when I try to open it, it says the filesystem is not valid.
The usb drive is readable on Ubuntu.
