Windows 10: Can't install windows from USB 3.0 drive?

Hi,



I've recently been blessed by the gods with a RTX 3080. I finished my build and... I can't install windows.



I manage to reinstall windows on other computers with the USB 3.0 drive. But not this one. I get stuck on this screen see the attachment. I've read online that it could be due to many things. Here are the things I've tried:

- XHCI Hand-off: Enabling, disabling it

- Legacy USB Support: Enabling, disabling it, autoing it

- UEFI/CSM Mode: UEFI mode, CSM Mode

- Secure boot: Enabled, disabled



I'm guessing that this isn't a thumb drive issue due to the fact that it works on other computers and that the bottom of the screen where it stays stuck is glitchy.



I don't know if my system itself can be an issue, but everything seems to be supported

Motherboard: MSI MAG B550M Bazooka AMD AM4

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

GPU: RTX 3080

Storage that I want to install on: Samsung 970 evo NVMe SSD

RAM: 16GB Corsair vengeance 3600MHz

USB 3.0 drive that has windows on: Vital 16Gb



Is this a known issue with the board? If so, how can we fix that bug?



Thanks a lot for taking the time to help

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

Its weird tho cause I have no problem with installing from disc. I did change it back to boot from HDD. I really dont want to uninstall all my components, kinds defeats the purpose of installing from usb. it would take longer to disconnect and reconnect after install then it would to just install from dvd.

Do you think its beacuse the drive was formated in ntfs, thats the only step I did different from the OP. Well that and the bootsect /nt60 command before coping files.

heres they way I went, probly have to try it fat32

launch diskpart.exe)
select disk 1 (or your USB drive number, use list disk to get it)
clean
create partition primary
select partition=1
active
format fs=ntfs
assign
exit

Now that the drive is boot aware, we have to initialize its boot sector with the Windows boot manager (BOOTMGR), using the Bootsect.exe utility located in the boot directory of the Vista installation DVD. We have to tell the utility that our target drive is NTFS formatted:

bootsect.exe /nt60 f:
