  1. Windows Installation media not booting, please don't leave this post unsolved


    The previous day, I was just trying out Debian in my system, I installed it on my HDD and played with it and uninstalled it, then when I booted into Windows, it booted fine, but then it suddenly showed a blue screen with error 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' and 'windows will restart for you - your preview build has crashed', but this never happened and I had to force shut down my system. Then whatever I do my windows wouldn't boot, thereafter. I don't know if it is a coincidence or the Debian installation did something nasty.

    I already had my Manjaro installation in the system, which was booting fine.

    Now, I thought, since this much has been done, I would delete the windows partition and extend my EFI partition to 1Gb which was 100Mb before (this was hindering in installing many OSs like Pop OS and openSUSE for which I had to create separate EFI partition of >512Mb). And this cause some booting problems with Manjaro, and I had to reinstall it. Fine, I got it right anyway.

    Now, all I had to do was to reinstall Windows 10, in its previous-now cleared- partition (I have already done this many time). So I created an installation media as usual, then tried to boot it, guess what, no matter what I try, it won't boot

    1. I tried disabling and enabling secure boot
    2. Tried legacy boot
    3. Tried to run the media inside a VM (KVM qemu) and it booted- it means its not the fault with the media- it seems

    Please help me reinstall Windows 10, I have to do some school projects to do in my office suite,

    I need Windows urgently.

    Edit: I am now booting UEFI

    And I not able to boot Windows 10 installation media

    Installation media boots to command prompt

    I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

    1. Windows logo on a black screen
    2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
    3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
    4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
    5. the initial Setup page appears

    Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

    Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

    If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

    Download Windows 10 ISO File

    Hi

    go here - Hauppauge | Page Not Found select "Windows Media Center install" tab

    look at - Setting up your TV tuner in Windows 7 Media Center - select download (will open a pdf with screen by screen instructions)
    "Download
    Here is a screen by screen view of the setup of Windows Media Center. It was based on the WinTV-HVR-1600, but the setup with other WinTV-HVR products will be similar."

    Follow the guide stage by stage

    let the TPU community know at what "step" Media Center gets stuck at Example: step 1, step 2

    nb: It may be to do with your zip code and or post code not being entered

    In regard to your DVD Rom drive - go to -control panel/device manager/DVD/CD-ROM drives -make a note of the make and model number Example: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-215D ATA Device - highlight the device you have installed -press right mouse button-select properties-details-property and select Install Date from the drop down list and let us know this.

    atb (all the best)
