I have tried more than once, using Media Creation Tool for Windows 11 23H2, and every time it crashes with the notification that it does not have sufficient space. I was watching the progress as it was copying the ISO to the H drive, and around perhaps 85% (I am not certain about that,) suddenly the folder in H disappeared.
According to what I found on-line, the USB should be at least 8GB, or perhaps 16GB. The H drive has 116GB available. I am getting quite frustrated by this process; I expected to have installed a fresh copy of Windows 11 on the Dell XPS 8950 that will soon be used by my wife. Instead, I have spent the last few hours trying to create the ISO.
What is going on what can I do to finally create a bootable USB?
A short while later: I decided to use Rufus to format the H drive as non-bootable just to be sure nothing invisible might be there, whereupon Rufus said "Another program or process is accessing this drive. Do you want to . format it anyway?" I rebooted and got the same message, and now when I try to start Rufus, I get "Other instance detected X
Another Rufus application is running.
Please close the first application before running another one."
What is this about, what do I need to do? Why is this happening?
Why everything else?...
