Windows 10: When installing windows eleven onto a new hard drive using a USB the installation process...

Hello I had to replace the hard drive in my computer and I created a Windows 11 installation media using the Microsoft USB Media creation tool. When I go through the process of installing from the flash drive, the system will begin the installation and at about 30% it will restart the computer and go back to the beginning process of the installation asking me to select the location for Windows to be installed.

Installing windows from usb hard drive

i repair alot of computers and install windows alot. currently i have to carry about a big cd wallet with all my disks but i use a usb hard drive just now for installing windows 7 32 because its soo much faster to install.

now my question is is there a way to put all my windows disks on the one hard drive and boot the iso i select? like a boot manager for iso files? that way i could have all my windows, linux and boot disks all one one drive rather than a load of dvds.

my only other option was a flash drive for each operating system but thats an expensive way to do it.

So how did you set up Win 7 to install from a USB hard drive?

I know you can do that, but what about having different windows installers on each partition? I think that's what the OP needs.
