  1. My PC is "dead" and can't get it to execute from flash drive


    I purchased Windows 10 and have the flash drive.


    My PC will not do anything but run diagnostics and comes up with the same screen of options.


    I had to create a Windows 10 boot file from my iMac.


    When I load my Windows 10 flash drive on my PC and type "dir" from the command prompt, I get a listing of the files on the drive.


    When I then reboot and boot from the flash drive, it will not execute the .exe file.


    Help, how can I get this to work or is the problem that I created the boot file on an iMac and not a PC?


    Thanks.

    :)

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
