  1. Unable to boot from USB


    Hello.


    Right now I have ZorinOS linux on my SSD. I'm trying to remove it and install clean version of Windows 10.

    I made several bootable USBs via Rufus on other Windows, Etcher and WoeUSB . In BIOS, I have set up everything properly. My boot priorities are right and everything i have done this before so I'm pretty certain that I did the BIOS setting right .

    So, here is the problem : When I boot from USB logo flashes for few miliseconds and after that screen goes black with blinking cursor in top left corner. It stays like that for dozens of minutes until I eventually restart the PC.

    My specs :

    They are very old


    Motherboard : ga-ma770-us3

    RAM : 6GB of DDR2 on 800MHz

    CPU : AMD Phenom 9750 on 2.4GHz

    SSD is Adata 240 GB

    :)

  2. Unable to boot the computer.

    Hi Samid,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Before we proceed, we would require more information to assist you further.


    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    I suggest you check if you are able to boot into Windows Recovery Environment using installation media. Follow the steps provided below and check.

      • Insert the installation USB and boot Windows 10 from it.
      • In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
      • Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.
    Check if you are able to boot to this window. If you are unable to boot to this window, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer and check.

    Hope this information is helpful. Reply us with this information to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    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?

    Unable to boot from USB

    Help with USB Boot Image

    I am trying to boot from my USB flash drive. I followed the instructions step for step that are in the article on this website. I downloaded the HP program and the USB Image zip file. I ran the HP flash program and pointed it to the folder where I unzipped the USB Image files to. I then copied all the files over to the USB memory stick as instructed. When I restart my computer and press F12 to go to the boot menu I have 3 options: SATA hard drive, CD-ROM drive, or USB Device. So I choose USB device and when it reads the USB memory stick all I get is the error "Non-system disk, replace and hit any key" Its like the USB memory is missing some system files or it doesnt have the master boot record or something. Somebody please HELP!!! I want to flash the bios in a new video card and I have to boot to DOS and I dont have a floppy drive and I have Win XP so a USB boot is probably the best option I have.
