Windows 11 - missing USB Storage
Hello,
Windows 11 based installations can't see USB Storage, so installation from Virtual Media is not possible.
Is there any workaround ?
Thanks.

Windows fails to boot from TinyPilot's virtual USB drive, and the virtual CD-ROM drive is limited to files of 2.2 GB. The only workaround is to create a custom Windows 11 installation image that's less than 2.2 GB and mount it from TinyPilot in CD-ROM mode.

Why It's limited to 2.2 GB ? It's relatively small size for operating systems released recently. Most of those comes at least in DVD size.
Michael Lynch @michael2021-11-08 22:49:43.685ZIt's a limitation of the CD-ROM format itself.
TinyPilot can emulate a CD-ROM but not a DVD-ROM. CD-ROMs are limited to 2.2 GB in size.
We're interested in emulating a DVD-ROM as well, but it's a significant amount of work.
