Create bootable windows USB in Ubuntu

Hey Ubuntu lovers, how confusing and lengthy process are you using to create a windows bootable USB in Ubuntu? Ever sighed how easy it would be if we have a simple GUI to achieve the goal like Unetbootin or some other USB installers like in Windows? Well you do not have to anymore! Well a stable and 'not less than these Windows softwares' application named WinUSB is now available for Ubuntu. We will now see how to install this GUI based USB installer in Ubuntu.

Steps:

Before we install we should remember one thing that there is no official PPA available yet for Ubuntu 14.04LTS, so we are gonna install the Ubuntu 13.10's version and then fix dependency errors! Let's go!

For Ubuntu 32-bit:

Open your terminal and enter below command:

wget https://launchpad.net/~colingille/+archive/freshlight/+files/winusb_1.0.11+saucy1_i386.deb

For Ubuntu 64-bit:

Open your terminal and enter below command:

wget https://launchpad.net/~colingille/+archive/freshlight/+files/winusb_1.0.11+saucy1_amd64.deb

Step 2:

sudo dpkg -i winusb_1.0.11+saucy1*

Step 3: Fixing dependency errors:

sudo apt-get -f install
