Description I am working on a feature to bypass Windows 11 hardware requirements (TPM, Secure Boot, RAM) similar to Rufus.
The Approach I modified core.py to generate an autounattend.xml file using RunSynchronousCommand to inject registry keys into HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig.
The Problem Although the file is created, I am encountering stability issues:
Sometimes the USB filesystem becomes corrupted after writing.
On some machines (HP UEFI), booting from the USB causes an immediate reboot loop or fails to load Windows Setup.
Code Snippet tried: I tried using os.fsync() to ensure data integrity, but the issue persists.
Python
Snippet of what I tried
with open(path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(xml_content)
f.flush()
os.fsync(f.fileno())
Request Has anyone implemented a safe way to write to the NTFS partition properly within the WoeUSB flow without causing corruption? Any advice on handling the write-sync process on Linux would be appreciated.
