I'm trying to create a bootable windows USB stick, but when I get to the installation process, it gives me this error:

> Installation failed ! Exit code: 512 Log: Formating device...

Anyone know how I might be able to solve this error? Thanks!

install unetbootin from ppa. ok i know the new version dosent support windows ntfs format...

but i did it.trust me. format usb drive in fat32 format,then open unetbootin and only choose windows iso and your usb drive.butt dont start process.now when unetbootin is open go to disk app(gnome disk utility) and unmount & format your usb to ntfs. mount it again. now come back to unetbootin.then you see its done.you can create windows usb. it takes about 15 min for me.
