    Make a drive bootable


    I have a drive with windows 11 installed on it, and my pc doesn't see the drive as a bootable drive, so every time I start my pc, the windows recovery screen pops up and I have to select "boot other OS" to get into my windows drive, when I go to the BIOS it doesn't the drive as a boot option in the first place. I got this problem by trying to install linux mint on my pc, and when I did I didn't really like it, so I wanted to go back to windows, before I switched I made a copy of my windows partition to an external drive, so I just copied that back up to another drive, but it doesn't start into

    :)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Make a drive bootable

    third sata drive not bootable ?

    Exactly. On the where do you want to install Windows screen, it has the list of all 3 drives, but when I choose the new drive is when it says it cannot install because the drive is not a bootable drive. If I select one of the other drives with XP installed it doesn't give that message.
