I have an Iso file on my desktop. I go to select this in Rufus to make a bootable drive and it doesn't see it's existence. It saw this very iso when it was in my D USB drive but I had to move it because it can't be in the same location it's creating the drive in. So I move the file to the desktop (and I tried other folders too) and it's not showing up. Rufus is ghosting me. What's the solution?
If one used admin privileges to execute Rufus, check the path and use the correct user's folders/files.
e.g.
C:\Users[user]\Downloads
Solved my own problem. I still don't understand what happened. It couldn't see the file in Rufus, or in two other similar applications. Something was systemic/universal. Well I got it to recognize it by copying the file path and pasting it in. After that it could see it. It was there all along. I don't know why it behaved like that. It seems to be working. I'll get a chance to try boot it next month maybe when I have some spare time. That was a joke
I had a similar problem with Rufus.
I solved the issue by placing the .iso file in a folder outside my windows User folder. E.g. in a folder called ISO, on the c drive.
This suggests that .iso files located in the User folders it tried, i.e. Desktop or in the Downloads folder were not seen by Rufus.
