Hi,

I have been working on rewriting Windows support in Fedora Media Writer for
the past 2-3 weeks and I need more people to test this to verify whether it
works as expected. I have a VM with Windows 11 and an older laptop with
Windows 10 and both do work for me, but I also got a report that it still
doesn't work properly.


*What needs to be tested?*1) ISO image writing
2) Device restoration
Ideally 1) and 2) repeatedly, in different combinations, like write an
image, restore, write an image or write an image and write an image again
without restoring the device.


*How to get the new FMW?*You can find the latest installer here:
https://jgrulich.fedorapeople.org/FedoraMediaWriter-win64.exe

NOTE: while I believe it should be safe to use and that it doesn't damage
your drive, it might be better to use some older USB drive just to be on
the safe side. In case the restoration doesn't work in FMW, you will still
be able to fix it on Linux by writing a new partition table, but the goal
of this new FMW Windows support is that you don't have to.

Also, in case there is a failure, two log files "MediaWriter.txt" and
"MediaWriter-helper.txt" should be in your documents directory and will be
helpful to include when reporting back that something doesn't work.

Thank you for your help!

Regards,
