Windows 10: Windows 10 Media Creation Tool error leading to USB drive not being recognized anymore

Hi guysSo, I basically downloaded the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from the Windows 11 download site. I ran it and selected an 8GB USB stick 2.0 as the device that should be made into a bootable USB flash drive. It fully downloaded Windows 11 and then started creating... and then the tool worked until like 40%. Suddenly, the following error appeared: "There was a problem running this tool. We're not sure what happened, but we are unable to run this tool on your PC. If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support. 0x80042405 - 0xa001a".After

How to recover USB drive after Windows 10 Media Creation Tool corrupts it?

I got Error Code: 0x8007045D-0xA0019 when running the Windows 10 Media Creation tool on an external USB drive. Now I cannot recover the USB drive.

I've tried formatting the USB drive in FAT32 and NTFS and I get the following message every time:

The type of the file system is RAW.

The new file system is FAT32.

Verifying 16.0 GB

Cannot format. This volume is write protected.

Format failed.

If I re-run the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, it does not 'see' / recognize the USB drive anymore.

Question: How can I recover my USB drive?

 

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
