I tried using the "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool" as I already had it installed.
I get "Status: We are unable to copy your files. Please check your USB device and the selected ISO file and try again."

Nigel, :)
If you already have the ISO, I prefer Rufus.
If you don't have an ISO yet, then the Media Creation Tool is best.
Can you put custom files on the USB created by Media Tool (drivers etc.)? Just want to be sure it won't cause any issues...
Brink thank you for this
- Couple of notes / questions.
--I am using Rufus 2.2.668, accessing a 16GB Sandisk usb sd: the default block in Rufus is 8192, not 4096. Should we force it to 4096?
-- Autoplay needs to be disabled.
what I refer to is:
- the usb device is inserted, windows pops up the device according to autoplay settings. you defer/ditch the action
- Rufus goes to access the device to begin the process: as soon as Rufus initializes [not sure what the under-hood first commands are], Autoplay will again "recognize" a device change and access the device, defeating Rufus. It will bail saying the drive is open by another program. wash/rinse/repeat until one defeats the auto-action
thx again
ok I must be wrong about this. here Is the Rufus log - still getting the volume-open fail
Format operation started
Requesting disk access...
Opened drive \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 for write access
Will use 'E:' as volume mountpoint
I/O boundary checks disabled
Analyzing existing boot records...
Drive has a Zeroed Master Boot Record

Using cluster size: 4096 bytes
Quick format was selected
Volume is in use
Format error: The device is in use by another process. Please close any other process that may be accessing the device.
Re-mounted volume as 'E:' after error
there is nothing else obvious going on with the system that would be accessing that device.
should I try rebooting in safe mode or ?? how about delete the volume first, then try?
Usually restarting the PC will clear anything using it.
You don't have write-caching enabled for it do you?
