Mount Windows 10 iso in linux (fix This disc contains a "UDF" file system)
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:
Cd into the preferred place where you want to create the mounting directory, in my case:
cd /media/mossab
Manually create the directory where the iso will be mounted
sudo mkdir windows
Set the correct permissions:
sudo chmod 777 windows/
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.
