Greetings everyone,

 

This guide will help you to convert bootable Windows OS USB Flash drive into an ISO file which can be used with VMware Player or to make a bootable USB Flash drive later on.

 

(a) You will need to Download oscdimg .

(b) Extract and copy to: C:\Windows\System32 .

(c) On the C:\ Drive create a folder called ISO. This will be the folder where your Windows ISO is created in.

(d) Copy the following command below to a Notepad.

 

For UEFI :

 

oscdimg -u2 -udfver102 -lWin_x86-64 -bF:\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin F:\ C:\ISO\WinUEFI.iso

 

For LEGACY/BIOS :

 

oscdimg -u2 -udfver102 -lWin_x86 -bF:\boot\etfsboot.com F:\ C:\ISO\WinBIOS.iso

 

Instructions below are given for UEFI but are identical for LEGACY/BIOS:

The above command is for the F:\ Drive ( i.e.,Windows OS USB Flash drive), if your drive is different, update the Drive Letter referencing the efisys.bin file.

(e) Save the file as USBtoUEFI_ISO.bat for this you need to save as  All Files otherwise it will be saved as USBtoUEFI_ISO.bat.txt.

(f) Now Right click the bat file  and select run as administrator.

(g) The Command Window will pop-up, wait for it to disappear.

(h) You now have the ISO file created in C:\ISO viz., WinUEFI.iso .

 

That's all.

P.S.: The above command can also be used to create .iso image from files/folders, this is something similar to Imgburn program.

[Tutorial] How to Convert Windows USB to a ISO ?

Somebody says "very nice"? But I wanted also say the same, but must say that any Windows USB or any other USB not possible convert to a ISO.

Or somebody still don't know what means USB and what the "weird thing" is ISO?

May be you didn't get it Sir due to my poor word selection "convert" instead of "create"/"make", it is a totally reverse thing of what Rufus do.

By this command we can easily create a bootable ISO from a Windows USB installation drive.
