So there is no solution for that and in future will be even less, as UEFI machines might stop you doing such things completely. So you can not make any OS installation and formating taks from a restricted user windows machine. However this would again need the installation of drivers for the virtual machine, which again needs admin privileges. It would be also possible to use some virtual machine and let the usb drive to be connected only to the virtual machine and logically disconnected from the host. The only way I can think off is to boot the machine from some bootable media as linux itself, and do the operation from there. Windows has to protect such operations strictly. There is no workaroud or I can not imagine how it should work. If you find a distribution where the install does not work, please let me know. Using YUMI to install Linux from USB to a Hard Drive works on many but not all distributions. ![]() ![]() Those are access to low level of the machine and as you can imagine, one can format all and destroy completely any machine if this would be allowed. YUMI was originally intended to be used to store and run various 'LIVE Linux' Operating Systems and tools from USB. Those tasks, regardless if the drive is portable usb or not, are simply prohibited by any current windows. The problem is that it has to create partition, write MBR and partition table etc.
