Create MagicDrive With A USB Storage Device

This part has only been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 VM.

Install Required Packages

Install these packages on the Ubuntu VM:

# apt install scsitools
# apt install git
# apt install grub-efi

Connect WinPE ISO to Ubuntu VM

Connect the MagicDrive_WinPE.iso created on Windows 10 VM to the Ubuntu VM via virtual CD/DVD.

Git Clone MagicDrive Project

Git clone the project to /github directory of the Ubuntu VM

# mkdir /github
# cd /github
# git clone https://github.com/huxiang/MagicDrive.git

Transform Your USB Storage Device to MagicDrive

Plug your USB storage device into the Ubuntu VM, then run the make_magicdrive tool. Here's an example:

root@ubuntu:/github# cd /github/MagicDrive/Install/
root@ubuntu:/github/MagicDrive/Install# ./make_magicdrive 
Usage:
   make_magicdrive DISKDEV [FSTYPE]

where,
   DISKDEV     Device file of the WHOLE disk which your want to transform
               it to MagicDrive
   FSTYPE      File system type of the MagicDrive, it can be nfts or ext4,
               it is ntfs by default

Example:
   make_magicdrive /dev/sdb
   make_magicdrive /dev/sdb ntfs
   make_magicdrive /dev/sdb ext4

Avaliable Disks:
   /dev/sdb	16 GB
   /dev/sda	100 GB

root@ubuntu:/github/MagicDrive/Install# ./make_magicdrive /dev/sdb
