    Issues with reinstalling from USB drive


    A couple of days ago, due to some issues with Windows updates that weren't completely installed on my computer, my laptop crashed and has since then been unable to move past the Lenovo logo screen. I decided to create a Windows 10 installer USB drive and then followed the process for the computer to boot from the USB drive.


    After doing this, the computer reaches a black screen with the blue Windows logo on it and eventually the circle loading sign appears. After sitting on this for 3-4 minutes, the screen goes black and takes me back to the Lenovo logo screen, on which it sits for a very long time (at least 10 minutes). Eventually it then loops me back to the black screen with the blue Windows logo and the process repeats.


    Does anyone have any advice for reinstalling Windows 10 on this computer?

    :)

    Hi Peter,

    Windows 10 may have encountered a driver issue or a hardware issue. For us to isolate the issue, we'd like to know more. Kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you tried using the USB flash drive on a different computer? Is it able to detect the USB flash drive?
    • Have you tried formatting the USB flash drive?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Meanwhile, if you haven't tried updating your driver or reinstalling the default driver. Kindly see this

    article
    and follow the steps on updating and reinstalling the driver.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    Issues with reinstalling from USB drive

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
