    Can't boot Windows 10 installation from USB


    Hi,

    I was having problems with my Display Driver, it kept shutting down my PC, so I uninstalled
    it and it didn't shut down anymore. I had to restart my PC the other day so I went into device
    manager and it had installed a Microsoft Generic driver. I uninstalled that one and went to
    Nvidia website to download the graphics driver I had previously. During the install I got a message
    that my PC has run into a problem and restarted. It kept booting up to that message so I
    decided to just do a clean install of windows 10 with my USB stick.

    I made sure USB was set for first boot sequence and restarted my PC but it won't
    boot to the installation, just keeps giving me the PC has run into a problem screen.

    I can see the windows install in my disk drives but can't get my PC to boot to it.
    So now I'm working in safe mode

    I'm not sure what to do at this point. I can't boot off my USB drive to install Win 10

    Hoping somebody could help me get windows back.

    Windows Version 2004 Build 19041.329
    Graphics Driver GeForce GT 620

    :)

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
