Easy2Boot Freezing at "Copying files to E:_ISO" Stage – Need Help

Quote from EABet on 2025-09-30, 8:19 PMHi everyone,
I'm trying to create a bootable USB drive using Easy2Boot. The setup process starts smoothly: the disk gets formatted, files start copying — but at the very last step, where it says "Copying files to E:_ISO\ folder – please wait...", the system seems to freeze and the process doesn't progress at all.
I waited for hours, but nothing changed.
🔁 I also tried this on several different computers, but the same issue occurred on all of them — the setup didn't proceed and appeared to be completely stuck.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far (with no success):
Different USB drives (e.g., Kingston, Sandisk, etc.)
Both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports
Disabling antivirus software
Running the setup as Administrator
Trying different versions of Easy2Boot
Testing on multiple PCs
If anyone has experienced this issue before or has any suggestions on how to fix it, I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
It stays that way and doesn't move forward
