    MCT boot usb


    Is it possible to move the boot media from one USB drive to another one with out having to create one.

    Example: I have a 8gb MCT bootable USB with version 1909 on it. Can I move/transfer it to another USB drive?

    :)

  2. USB made with MCT does not boot!

    Update: Tried the USB made using RUGUS -- same problem.

    Made a DVD using the same ISO -- it boots fine.

    @cerebrus: Will try what you suggested and report back the results. Thanks

    UPDATE: IT works -- the laptop booted from the USB stick!

    The issue is most likely with the drive itself not software. Some drives just will not boot no matter why you try - I have no idea why. I guess it is USB driver related.

    Don't use Rufus or anything - do this

    1) download iso from MS

    2) put usb drive in PC and prepare it like this

    Run an admin command prompt and type following commands

    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk n (n=number of USB drive, usually last on list)

    clean (wipes drive - be certain right drive has been selected)

    create partition primary

    select partition 1

    format fs=fat32 quick

    active

    assign

    exit

    exit


    3) Note assigned USB drive letter

    4) mount iso as a drive, and copy all files to USB drive

    5) boot from USB drive

    If it does not boot now it is a problem with the drive.

    MCT boot usb

    USB boot for bios update

    Did the first step. It already doesn't work. Note the capacities and drive letters M:/N: The HP utility is about to format my raid-1 volume containing my 2 750gb drives. It thinks it's the usb stick. I can not select any other drives in the HP utility. My 512mb usb stick is U:.

    Any other suggestions?
