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

Hi 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
