I am trying to use Rufus on my Mac running Parallels desktop to create a Windows 11 To Go USB stick. I have properly connected the USB stick, which is formatted as FAT32, and have verified that the checksums for the Microsoft website downloaded Windows 11 ISO image are correct using MD5: 8f76997f66850b0beab0359ab36d167c.
However, when I attempt to use the "Windows to Go" option in Rufus, I receive an ISO image scan failure error. This same error also occurs when attempting to create a Windows 10 To Go USB stick using the same method. The standard Windows Installation works but Windows to Go doesn't.
I have not been able to find any information about this particular error and am seeking help to determine what could be causing the issue and how to resolve it.

Edit: I have attempted to use this guide https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/clean-install-windows-11 to create two partitions on the USB, one Fat32 and one NTFS. Same issue persists.
