    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    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.

    Download Windows 10 ISO File

    Hi,

    As you are facing issues with booting the device to desktop, we will help you with this issue.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the complete error message/ error code of this issue?
    • What exactly were you trying to perform on the device prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Are you ae to boot the device to desktop (Confirm to us)?

    This issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing boot files.

    As a workaround I suggest you to unplug all the external devices connected to your computer, hard reboot the device and check with the status of this issue. Please be informed that there is a power supply to your device.

    If the issue still persists, try the below troubleshooting steps as the boot files of current operating system might got corrupted.

    I suggest you to download Windows 10 ISO file, create an installation media from other working computer to perform
    Startup repair of the computer that you are unable to boot.

    Using ISO file to perform Startup
    repair will allow the device to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment and tries to repair the device.

    Step 1:
    I suggest you to try Startup repairing the Windows and check if it helps.

    Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform
    Startup Repair.

    Refer to the following link: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    (Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool” in the above article for creating the tool).

    Step 2: After creating the tool perform an Startup Repair.

    I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup,
    Startup Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings and more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

    Perform the Startup
    repair:

    • When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
      F12.
    • The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
    • Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
      Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
      CD\DVD ROM.
    • After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
    • Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    • Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
    • Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
      Startup repair.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
