Windows 10: Failed/stalled complete reinstall of Windows !0 from flash drive created from win media...

I attempted reinstall of Windows 10 from flash drive wiping all previous files. Got through the installation, computer restarted, message: getting devices ready, message: "getting ready, then blue screen with message: your PC ran into a problem & needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you"....everything stalled at that point, never progressed. Please help. Thanks

Failed Media Creation Tool attempt at bootable USB flash drive


Shawn, these are the steps being referred to that NavyLCDR posted. They work for both UEFI and MBR.

Here are the steps to create a standard Windows 10 USB flash drive:

1. Use the Media Creation Tool to download and save the ISO file to your hard drive.
2. Insert the USB flash drive.
3. Open a Administrator Command Prompt and enter: diskpart (if it isn't an administrator command prompt, it will ask for administrator permission).
4. list disk
5. select disk # <- replace # with the actual disk number of the USB flash drive
6. clean <- this will erase the disk selected above, make sure you selected the USB flash drive!
7. create part pri
8. format fs=fat32 quick
9. active
10. exit
11. exit - and if the first Command Prompt was not an Administrator Command Prompt, exit that one too.
11. Mount the ISO file saved by the Media Creation Tool. If you are using Windows 8 or 10, you only have to right click on it and click on mount. If you are using Windows 7, then you must use a program like WinCDEmu to mount the ISO file:
WinCDEmu - the easiest way to mount an ISO. And more...
12. Copy all the files and folders from the mounted ISO file to the USB flash drive.

That's as simple as it gets. Between steps 7 and 8 you can enter: "select part 1" without quotes - but it should not be necessary.
Between steps 8 and 9 you can enter: "assign" without quotes - but it should not be necessary.

 

Reinstalling Windows 10 from disc made from one computer on computer that crashed

For us to further isolate the issue, we will need to ask you a few questions.

You've said I've tried all the suggested solutions including making a Windows 10 Media Tool on a flash drive.

• What are the suggested troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
• Were you able to create an installation media on a flash drive?

We are looking forward to your reply.
