Hi,
Thanks reporting this.

Your flash drive seems have sufficient capacity (>= 7Go) for a netinstall.iso.

Have you ever tried to completely format your flash drive with a single empty partition in gparted?

isodumper can't use a particular partition on a drive and must use all volumes on it in order to create a boot partition and dump ISO file on it. All partitions present shall be removed.

Yes i have tried to format my flash drive with a single empty partition in gparted.

i tried to format with isodumper too

Make sure the partition is not mounted.

If partition isn't mounted i can't see flash drive in list of devices

The partition must not be mounted. I'm guessing you can't see the device due
to the use of automount, and the way it's being unmounted.

The device manager option to safely remove a device doesn't just umount the
file system, it logically ejects the drive making it unavailable until the
bus is rescanned, usually by removing and reinserting the device or rebooting. 

To avoid that disable automounting or manually unmount any filesystems on that
device using the umount command (run as root).

I make new udisks dump file after trying to flash usb drive.
See attached file.

With Papoteur we have modified error message to have Iso size and Device size.
See attached scrennshot.

It seems to be taking the size from the device
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/mmcblk2boot0:
rather then
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb

Any chance a small sd card is being selected by mistake?

No chance...

My computer is Asus T100TA:

https://www.asus.com/fr/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_T100TA/

So there is 3 devices:

- one MMC where Mageia is intalled 32Go named mmcblk2
- one SD card 64Go named mmcblk0 where is located in my screen
- one dock with hdd 1To named sda

 and my flash drive sdb.

It's seems disks management is special on my system...

Isodumper 1.21 is coming.

There is no previous version of isodumper on this laptop, but when selecting the 1.21 version in MCC I get:

Herman, problem is we don't have a full list of the rpms. If you use "isodumper*" in qarepo, you will download all three rpms of the update.

The device is too small to contain the ISO file.
