    Windows installation loops When pressed any key to boot from CD/DVD/USB


    Cannot find a solution. Lots of chatter, Disk runs, Windows logo comes up, little circle goes round and round then black screen, hit any button to boot from disk, usb and windows hell starts all over. I am using Windows 10/ Home DVD. I have tried multiple disk drives, internal external, changed the boot parameters to every setting possible, date, time, language correct. I am sure there is someone out there from a neighboring planet that has a solution, you can be my best friend forever. Thanks

    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

  3. Windows 10 USB Clean Installation Reboot Loop

    Hi Ryan,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    If you are unable to boot to the computer then I would suggest you to create installation media and then try to perform automatic repair and see if it helps you to fix the issue.



    Step 1: Create ISO for Windows 10



    You may also refer to the article mentioned below to for downloading Windows 10 on your computer.

    Download Windows 10



    Step 2: Perform an Automatic repair

    The Automatic repair can detect and fix the issues that prevent the computer from working normally.

    After you have a Windows 10 installation disc/USB, follow these steps:

    • When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be F12.
    • The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
    • Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to CD\DVD ROM
      (in case you create DVD). Select USB in case you create USB.
    • After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press
      any key to boot from CD or DVD
      ". Press any key.
    • Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    • Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
    • Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and
      then click Startup Repair.


    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,
