Windows 10: Boot from USB Media Creation Tool then does not install Windows?

Hi everyone, I am trying to fix an old laptop asus g75v by installing a fresh Windows OS.
Here’s what I did:

1. Create bootable thumb drive via media creation tool.

- Windows 10, 64bit, English

2. Open Broken Asus laptop in Bios.

- DIsabled Safe boot

- Enabled Launch CSM

- Disabled Fast Boot

- Save changes, restart.

3. Plugged in the thumb drive

4. Opened Bios and selected thumb drive as boot priority.

- Disabled default hdd boot to make sure.

5. Save changes and exit.


Expection: Windows 10 logo then Windows setup environment appears.


Actual: Windows 10 logo then blank screen with command prompt appears. Can’t type anything in the command prompt. Typing in keyboard enters “^A” etc when I press “A”

When I close the command prompt, laptop stays in a black screen with a mouse pointer.

It seems that the windows 10 didnt auto install? Any suggestions?

:)

 

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

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

 

Does the Media Creation Tool create a bootable USB or DVD


If you're on a Windows 8 or Windows 10 machine, you can save the ISO with the Media Creation Tool and then burn it to DVD by right-clicking the ISO and selecting 'Burn Disc Image'.





There is also an option to 'Open DVD Burner' in the Media Creation Tool, but I've never done it that way.

When I want to completely wipe the drive, I boot with the DVD in the DVD drive, and with the boot order set to boot from DVD drive first so that it boots from DVD. If you just want to upgrade the current OS, you can just run setup.exe on the DVD/USB Flash Drive from desktop.
