Create a Windows 8 installation media that functions exactly as Microsoft provides.
I choose the ISO file because it’s the only option for DVDs. It’ll take a few minutes.
I believe it’s treating it as two separate discs. I see a regular disc, then the boot media and other parts—uncertain if it will function properly. I tried using it as a DVD in Windows, hoping it would work without needing to select it as a USB drive. However, in the pictures, one appears to be a DVD while the other seems mismatched, suggesting a possible virtual setup or dual drives. It looks like it might be trying to combine them into one device, but there’s confusion about how it should be handled.
If you take out the disc, the system still recognizes that virtual E drive, which currently holds about 3.28GB of data. Windows Media Maker insists you need a 4GB drive, but only a fraction of this USB stick is functional—just around 3.8GB. Now it’s creating a new virtual E drive. I’m curious to observe what happens if I copy everything over. BYPASS 101: I really dislike when programs demand a 4GB drive when they only require something like 3.5GB or less. The idea that a 4GB drive is the only option feels unfair, especially since this particular stick only has about 3.8GB usable. Let’s just see how it plays out.
