Unable to create USB bootable media

I'm trying to create a Windows PE USB, UEFI bootable media.  I checked the "Download WinPE environment.  I click Next and select USB Boot Device.  I get the format warning and select Yes.  The window closes and nothing happens.

  • Please export the ISO file to see if it works.
  • Trying to export the an iso file does the same thing - the window closes and nothing further happens.
  • Please check if there's a Crash.dmp file in the installation directory.
  • I've scanned the installation directory, the Users directory, and the ProgramData directories and all of their sub-directories and there is no crash.dmp file.
  • I just again tried to make a USB bootable UEFI WinPE memory stick, and also tried making an ISO file after accidentally hitting my machine's reset button.  I was planning on doing it the next time I rebooted purposefully, but my foot did it for me. Neither of the functions work - the window just closes.  Windows logs under Computer Management for both Application and System don't any errors or anything else associated with the attempted operation.

    If the Linux media boots you probably have a legacy computer. So UEFI can't work. In that case you must use the legacy version of WinPE USB/DVD 

    @Admin: Or is the Linux version UEFI compatible nowadays?
  • I have, and am using an UEFI bios.
  • On my machine, in order to use the WinPE CD, I have to start from power-up and catch the "Press any key to boot from CD" message.  If I don't, I get a message to insert a bootable device because it never retries the CD.
  • @JohnnyboyGo No, it doesn't support UEFI.
  • I think your computer is using a Legacy bios, so please try the Legacy WinPE.
