  1. Can’t choose my USB drive to make a bootable drive


    I have a Lenovo 100S computer with Windows 10; I’m trying to use the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable drive using my 32GB USB drive but after choosing the windows version I need the tool doesn’t let me choose the drive i want to use, instead it jumps to a message that says that i need to free space in my C:\ drive and that’s where windows is installed. What can I do?

    :)

    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!

    third sata drive not bootable ?

    Exactly. On the where do you want to install Windows screen, it has the list of all 3 drives, but when I choose the new drive is when it says it cannot install because the drive is not a bootable drive. If I select one of the other drives with XP installed it doesn't give that message.
