  1. How can I make boot manager on thumb drive boot from HD?


    I have a thumb drive on which I have a whole bunch of Windows 10 installation images. I can boot a standard, unmodified Windows 10 DVD, a basic unattended setup, a fully sysprepped unattended installation, etc.

    All of these options are presented to me from the Windows Boot Manager menu.

    The one thing I have not been able to figure out is if there is a way to have the boot manager boot from the internal hard disk after the timeout period has elapsed.

    Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, what do I need to add to my BCD store on the thumb drive?

    :)

    There could be some system conflict triggered after the said changes. To help you with your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. A
    clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will help to determine what is causing the issue on the Windows boot manager. To do this, click on this
    link and scroll down to the
    How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section then follow the steps listed..

    Note: If the installation is successful and the issue has been resolved. Please go through the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual” to reset your computer to the normal startup.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

    Can't boot from DVD drive

    Is your controller in RAID/AHCI modes? If so, the DVD drive will be listed as a separate device in the list of available boot devices, not as "CDROM". Remember that when setting boot device priority. Otherwise, read the manual to see which hotkey during POST brings up the boot menu that lets you select which device to boot from. Even here, the drive will be listed separately, and not as "CDROM".
