Windows 10: Can't Boot From Windows 10 Install from USB/DVD

Hi all,

I currently have the "Your PC needs to be repaired" error so I'm trying to reinstall windows 10 completely. I used Microsoft's bootable media to create both a bootable USB and DVD (I also tried using Rufus to format it) but both don't seem to boot properly.

When I press F9 to boot from the USB/DVD, my desktop will restart and then go through a continuous boot-loop. For the DVD specifically, the screen pops up for me to press any key (if I don't, I get the "Operating system not found error"). Once I press something, I can hear the DVD spinning loudly while it's on the HP loading screen and after about 30 seconds, the computer will just restart itself and continue to do so.

**I've tried booting from both of these from another computer and they work fine

Here's what I've tried:

-Disabling Secure Boot and Fast Startup

-Enabling Legacy mode (but I boot the DVD from UEFI)

-Changing the boot order so that the USB/DVD option is at the top

-Resetting BIOS settings

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

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

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
