| {{note|Windows Imagewriter does not automatically detect .ISO files, which is why it is necessary to type '''*.*''' in the filename box, in order to find them.}}
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| It is recommended to use '''[https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/ ImageWriter For Windows]''', which is a free application designed to write disc images to USB sticks as well as ''Compact Flash'' (CF) and ''Secure Digital'' (SD) cards. Once Imagewriter has been downloaded and installed, ensure that your USB stick is plugged in before starting it.
| |
|
| |
| If you find that ''ImageWriter'' is unable to start, then it may be necessary to download Microsoft's '''[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16614 .NET 2.0 Runtime Framework]''', which is used by some software programs to run. In addition, if an error message is displayed upon starting the process, then you may wish to open ImageWriter by first right-clicking on the icon, and then selecting the '''Run as Administrator''' option.

| A brief guide to writing the Manjaro .ISO image has been provided:
| |
|
| |
| {{tip|Ensure that ''Windows Explorer'' is closed prior to attempting to write the ISO image, otherwise it may block access to the USB stick, resulting in the following error being displayed: '''system.componentModel.Win32Exception:Access is denied'''.}}
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''1.''' Click the '''select''' button
| |
|
| |
| '''2.''' Type '''*.*''' in the filename box and then select the Manjaro .ISO image
| |
|
| |
| '''3.''' Select your USB Stick
| |
|
| |
| '''4.''' Click the '''Write''' button.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Should your attempt to write to a USB stick still be unsuccessful, then use a partition tool to format it as a '''RAW''' partition type, and use ''ImageWriter'' again.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| {{warning|Re-partitioning your USB stick as a '''RAW''' data type will result in all data present being destroyed, and will render it unusable for other purposes until reformatted back to its original partition type.}}
