    No way to install Windows 10 from USB; keeps asking for Drivers from the USB, DVD or Hard Disk.


    Hi y'all. I'm here seeking for some help. I hope I find it here. So, I'm going to explain my problem in a few steps, in the same order that I did them.
    Ok, so. Here's the problem. A few months ago my version of Windows 10 was having a lot of problems. It got so slow that I decided to re-install it. It went good, everything was fine. Then the first problem happened: My Search Bar was gone, I couldn't find anything, so if i wanted to use an app that wasn't in my desktop I had to search it in the whole disk from "This PC". This was a huge problem for me, so I re-installed it again. Everything was fine, everything was good. Now is where I say that I have a partition for ElementaryOS an OS based in Ubuntu 18, so that was like my main OS because I develop faster in Linux. So I was using it like in an everyday basis, till I wanted to go to Windows to do something.Here was the problem that got me stuck, because Windows got broken and it was trying to fix itself, but it couldn't. I couldn't reinstall it from the Recovery Environment neither. And since I have a MSI GF63 8RC there's a recovery system from MSI, that i couldn't use. So I deleted windows. All good here, but I actually want to go back to be able to play video games because here in Linux it's kinda of hard. Here's the problem, I can't install it back, because every time that i insert my USB with the Windows Installer it says "A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk Driver." So, i tried all this:
    1.- After searching in Google what to do, i found that i was supposed to install these drivers "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Intel® RST User Interface and Driver" I won't put the link here because I don't know if there's a rule about it. I downloaded it and I saved it in a folder in the USB that i used to install Windows 10. When I tried searching for the folder inside the installation I don't know why but its empty.
    2.- Then I tried to use something called "MSI Smart Tool". I found this in another video to fix the same problem. The thing is that it is only for windows, so I used a VMBox with Windows 10 and installed from there and mounted the ISO with that in the USB from the Virtual Box. Doesn't work.

    There's another thing. I posted something similar to Reddit, and people told me to erase the whole disk, because Windows install better like that. Doesn't work. So please, don't recommend it because I already tried it. So, I came here because I don't know what to do anymore. Up there i said the model of my laptop, so maybe that works for something. If anyone can help me, then thank you so much. See you all later guys, thanks for even read till this long.

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

  3. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    Windows 10 USB installation - keeps asking for drivers

    Hi all,

    I am trying to make a fresh install of Windows 10 from a USB on a laptop. The problem is that just at the very beginning it keeps asking me for additional drivers and I have no idea what the installer wants from me to be honest. I can only scan for drivers
    and I don't know what to do.

    It keeps asking for DVD/USB drivers from what I can tell, however the laptop does not have DVD drive and since I'm running the install from USB, the USB should be good, right?

    Installer: Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, chosen both 32/64 bit to be on the safe side.

    Laptop: ASUS FX505DT-AL086

    USB stick: ADATA C008

    I tried laptop specific google searches but got nothing that could help.
