  1. Windows doesn’t recognise USB stick on custom install screen says I need correct drivers


    I don’t have access to another computer I have installation media on a 32 GB stick ready. When trying to install it onto another USB which is a sandisk cruiser blade 128GB flash drive it doesn’t show as a drive.I tried looking for drivers for this SanDisk but there is no direct link on the manufacturer website it says you have to get it through Windows update.I was told by someone I can download SATA preinstall drivers For my motherboard which is an ASUS PRIME A320M- K which will apparently make the drive appear. I need to know what drivers I need to install and download so I can go to an Int

    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

    USB Device (USB Stick) Not Recognised by Windows 10

    Hello auggy! I did what you suggested. I have found greyed-out "USB Mass Storage Device" entry corresponded to not working USB Stick, uninstalled it, plugged back the Stick but unfortunately story is the same (see the snipping below). USB Stick is still
    not working. Any new suggestions?

    Actually this not working USB Stick is not a big deal, I can use thousands of other USB Sticks instead. But I would really like to find out, why this particular Stick is not working. What is causing that this Stick is not recognised. Actually the whole series
    of USB Sticks (JetFlash 700/730 - 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB) is not recognised on my computer, because they are all using the same driver. It would be the best to manually re-install driver for this particular USB Stick series (delete the old one's remains, install
    the new one), but manufacturer does not offer drivers at his download page.

    Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

    Current password doesn t work incorrect. Reset password requirs some usb stick which is not in my posession. Any ideas ? Try to access microsoft account but non of my email adress is recognised so cannot try this option.
