# WindUSB Installation Script
## Description
This Bash script automates the process of creating a bootable Windows USB drive. It install required dependencies, and extract the Windows ISO file to the drive. The script also checks for root permissions and supports multiple Linux distributions.
## Usage
1. Make sure you have a Windows ISO file ready.
2. Execute the script and type your root password. You can do this by running:
```bash
curl -o windusb.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Broly1/Windusb/master/windusb.sh && chmod +x windusb.sh && ./windusb.sh```
3. Follow the on-screen instructions:
- You will be prompted to select a USB drive from the list of connected drives. Ensure you choose the correct drive as it will be formatted and all data will be erased.
- The script will install the necessary dependencies for formatting and extracting.
- You will be asked to confirm the erasure of the selected drive and the installation of dependencies.
- The Windows ISO file will be extracted to the USB drive. This process may take some time.
4. Once the script finishes, you will receive a message indicating that the installation is complete.
