I'm not sure if this is a "unix" question, but I'm in dire straits:
I'm running Mint 18.1 Serena 64bit. I'm trying to burn a Windows 10 ISO to a USB drive so that I can boot from it via selecting it in the boot order. I've just downloaded the ISO straight from Microsoft and opened a brand new Sandisk 32gb flash drive.
I burned the ISO by right clicking the ISO and selecting Make bootable USB disk and selecting the SanDisk. It took a while and succeeded with no error message or anything.
When I restart my computer and put the USB stick to the top of the boot order, it tries to boot, but immediately prompts me in motherboard-like text, "No partition active." It then goes to Linux Mint, installed on my SSD drive.
Are there any commands I can use to check the health of this disk? Is the MBR?
I notice in the below output that the USB stick at /dev/sdc/ does not have a Device section. Is that noteworthy?
