There is no any mention on Mageia site that Rufus will work with
Mageia ISOs, vice versa. If you find a bug in Rufus, you should always
report it to Rufus developers, because it is not maintained by Mageia.

The dd way to dump ISO file into USB drive always work for me.
However, if you must do it in Windows, please add yourself to CC list
of this bug:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4598

The most important thing is that you should report your problem to
Rufus developers. Mageia is not involved with Rufus development and
complaining here will not make any progress for you if you want Rufus
be fixed.

Please noted that even if it got fixed by Rufus developer(s), the
future release of Rufus may still have problems with Mageia ISOs.
Rufus and Mageia are two independent projects and have no any direct
or indirect connection.
