I was trying to create a bootable USB of Ubuntu from Ubuntu when some symbolic links errors appeared, which I explained in this question. There was no valid answer what these errors are, nor are they significant. It is possible to bypass them using Disk image writer which came preinstalled in Ubuntu. However, symbolic links are not compatible with FAT32 filesystem and the reason why Disk image writer can bypass these is because (I believe) it rearrange filesystem on USB.

enter image description here

Now, I don't think there is a single tool for Windows that can do this rearrange, so this links are not included in a bootable USB. Hence the question:

Is it really possible to properly create a bootable USB of Ubuntu from Windows?

You cannot make the links but you can simply copy the content from the link target to the location of the link. Remember that a live system doesn't write data on its storage medium.
