This topic covers how to manually create a Windows installation flash drive from Windows installation ISO disc image file or DVD, and is intended for manufacturers looking into creating media that they can use to manufacture Windows devices.
The steps described on this page assume you have Windows installation media and access to a Windows technician PC. If you're looking for an easy, automated way to create a bootable Windows installation flash drive, see:
Use this option and download Media Creation Tool if you want to create bootable USB media to perform a clean install on new or existing hardware. To get started you first need a license to install Windows 11 or have a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 11.
To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 11. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.
Get RMPrepUSB Here: RMPrepUSB download latest version (fosshub.com)
Get the Dos6.22 IMG file from here as you already did.
With RMPrepUSB (I'm using v.2.1.739) select File->Drive.
Go through the prompts and let it put all the files from the ISO onto the USB stick.
Copy ALL the files on the USB stick to somewhere on your hard drive (these should be the only files in the folder).
"In the Copy OS files from here" section, put the folder that you just copied all the files from the USB stick to.
In Sec.3 select MS-DOS bootable.
In Sec.4 select FAT16 on the left, and "Boot as HDD" and "Use 64hd"**
(Make sure the checkbox next to "5 Copy OS files" is checked)
Select 6 Prepare Drive and follow the prompts. It will partition, format, MBR, bootsector and copy the files to the USB stick.
When 9. is complete, hit Eject Drive and remove USB stick.
That's it! Let me know if it works for you.
Note: I think the problem with just doing the File->Drive thing is that it doesn't put the files in the right place on the USB stick. When you let it prep and copy the files itself, it puts everything in the proper place and order.
** You may have to monkey with the checkboxes in this section. My laptop places the USB Boot under its "Hard Drive" section when it lists it in its BIOS. Your computer may consider it removable storage, or a FDD.
USB Flash Drive Preparation: the USB flash drive used to install Windows must be configured to boot UEFI. First, create a UEFI bootable USB flash drive that can boot and run the Windows 8.1/10 installer.
I had two physical drives in my laptop: a SSD and a HDD. I've had Windows 10 installed on SSD drive, and later I've installed Ubuntu on HDD with dual boot.Now I wanna replace that HDD with another SSD and do fresh installation of Ubuntu there. I've unplugged the HDD but I can't boot to Windows now - it says boot device not found. If I plug the HDD back I can still boot from there. How can I restore normal Windows booting, to make my laptop operable without that HDD, and then install Ubuntu with dual boot to a brand new drive? I've tried creating recovery USB drive, booting from there, running bootrec.exe/fixmbr and bootrec.exe/fixboot but it had no effect. bootrec/rebuildbcd said that it found windows installation but couldn't find some needed device (I guess it means that HDD, since it looks like it's a boot device now) How can I get rid of that dual boot consequences and fix Windows booting?
I've found the answer. If it could come in handy to someone - the thing was to create EFI partition on the drive where the Windows was installed. It looks like after installing dual boot Ubuntu it moved that partition to the partition where GRUB and Ubuntu were installed and I had to bring it back home.
I hope you can help me. I use PAD on my Windows 10 Desktop PC.
I want my flows to start automatically with windows, without me having to start them all manually with the Play Button after every reboot.
I read somewhere that as a workaround you can use a script on the computer that will run at startup and call a flow with a Request trigger. I'm not quite sure how this would work and if it was an answer to my specific question or to another situation I misunderstood as mine. But if this is the way, I would appreciate some more infos about it, maybe an example.
Greetings

Currently, you can only trigger a desktop flow from a cloud flow or manually. Starting a flow through the command line doesn't seem to work: -Automate-Ideas/Schedule-Power-Automate-Desktop-from-within...
My guess is, since PAD is free and Microsoft is a corporation, which is actually trying to make money - they have a desire to actually generate revenue through a product. A product which also has expenses related to it, through the maintenance and continuous development.
There are both free and open source alternatives on the market, if the economical benefit of PAD does not compensate for the expenses related to the subscriptions. There is even the option to use CODE to automate processes yourself.
I think the pricing on the product is extremely competitive, when you take into account the usability and community around it. It's hard to understand why anyone would think a product like this would be free.
But if the subscription is too steep or the functionality lacking, take a look at OpenRPA or perhaps look into Python. You should be able to achieve the same AND run them offline, you'll probably just have to pour in more time and effort..
thank you! can confirm that works well.
i am facing an issue though, it runs upon startup but i have to manually click 'continue' for the flow to run. Same thing if i double click the desktop shortcut.
