Windows 10: "one drive isn't signed in" popup at boot by choice... but... one app > one drive - "has to...

How can the One Drive feature require waiting for it to close on shutdown if it isn't signed in to?

Boot drive

I can now boot from my USB, however, it doesn't open my/any files. It wants me to re-install Windows again. It goes thru it's initial installing procedures and then it get to the area that asks "where would you like to install this" and shows a popup window
that has a form on it that my drives are supposed to be and no drives are listed. Any suggestions???

Respectfully,

Charlotte

 

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.

 

Can't boot from DVD drive

Is your controller in RAID/AHCI modes? If so, the DVD drive will be listed as a separate device in the list of available boot devices, not as "CDROM". Remember that when setting boot device priority. Otherwise, read the manual to see which hotkey during POST brings up the boot menu that lets you select which device to boot from. Even here, the drive will be listed separately, and not as "CDROM".
