The memsticks have been dual-format for a while, so just try renaming it to memstick.iso and see what happens? Failing that, $ qemu-img convert -p -f raw -O vhdx memstick.img memstick.vhdx IIRC qemu-img is (currently) not available on arm64 platform, you'll need amd64 somewhere to do this. Please report back if any of these options worked. A+ Dave
