    I can't use the remaining space on the usb after installing mediacreationtool. Including not being able to access the files on the usb before installing mediacreationtool. Do you have any solutions? I want to get the old data back.

    :)

    MediaCreationTool on USB

    My computer has not been booting properly, and I was told the best option was to install Windows on a USB using MediaCreationTool and go from there.

    However I'm only able to get onto my desktop using Safe Mode with Networking, and whenever I click setup on my USB it says that I can't use Safe Mode. How can I use this then?

    MediaCreationTool on USB

    If you have a bootable USB stick you do not need to be on the computer. You need to have the USB at the top of the BIOS Boot list. Then make sure it is plugged in when you turn on the computer.

    Lost space of Pen Drive

    Hello,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you.


    • Have you tried connecting to a different computer?
    I suggest you to connect the USB flash drive to a different computer and check.

    First back up all the data from your USB drive to another location.

    I suggest you to connect the USB flash drive to a different computer and check.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to refresh the drive letter and then try to rescan the drives that are connect to the computer and check.

    To refresh drive letter:

    • Open Computer Management (Local).
    • In the console tree, click Computer Management (Local), click
      Storage, and then click Disk Management.
    • Click Action, and then click Refresh.
    • Once you have refreshed connect the new zip drive and to update hardware information, click Rescan Disks instead.
    Step 2: For unallocated space on USB drive


    • Press the Windows key, and type Diskpart.

    • Click the result to open the DiskPart command prompt window.

    • In the command prompt window, type list disk and hit Enter.

    • The removable USB drive or hard disk will be shown under
      Disk 1.

    • Type in the following commands and hit Enter.
    select disk 1

    Clean

    create partition primary


    • The first command selects your removable USB drive.

    • The Clean command deletes all the current partitions present on the USB drive.

    • The Create primary partition creates a fresh partition and allocates all the unallocated space on this fresh partition.

    • Type Exit to close the command prompt window.

    • Unplug your USB drive and plug it back again.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
