Copy Rufus-made USB key to VHD failed w/o popup msg nor log explaination #2799
Description
Checklist
- I have been made aware that if my problem can be summarized as "I've created or tried to create a media using Rufus, and ...", and I am not including a log, this issue will be summarily closed.
- I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
- I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
- I clicked the 'Log' button (🗒️) or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, or used DebugView, and copy/pasted the log into the section that says
<FULL LOG>below. - The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line
Rufus version: x.y.z- I have NOT removed any part of it.
Additionally (if applicable):
- I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
- I also tried one or more of the following:
- Using a different USB drive.
- Plugging the USB into a different port.
- Running Rufus on a different computer.
- If using an image, I clicked on the
(✓)button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.
Issue description
I have a USB key with a Win OS on it. I try to duplicate it for backup using the copy function (the blue floppy icon).
After it starts to copy the VHD file ono my local disk, it crashes w/o warning or error after a certain time. Most obviously there is a bug on my USB key (was not detected at creation but thus may happen). The VHD file is automatically deleted at end of copy (crashed) by Rufus.
Tried the same action w/ various 4.* versions found on the download section. Same result.
I had an old 3.22 version, I tried and I got a "read error" popup after a while too; the VHD file is kept on the dusk. Smaller than the original USB if course since it could not complete the copy.
I could not performed a checksum on the USB, the ✓ button is grey and does not seem to produce any action.
The check device for bad blocks option is set but does not seem to check anything prior to starting the copy.
I think it would be more convenient / user friendly to have kept the previous (3.22) behaviour to produce a popup / error message to let the use immediately know his USB is not copiable due to bad block. You might consider re-instate this message in a future version or perform auto bad block check before stating the copy to VHD action.
Anyway, thank you for your tool, is really very useful.
