Windows 10: windows wont boot from alternate USB

I am unable to boot a system. The original boot device does not boot but goes to "Starting Automatic Repair" and hangs. I created a USB boot drive from Microsoft site and changed the boot options to legacy and disabled secure boot. When i boot from the USB, it simply hangs. What can this possibly be since the system will not boot from either drive. All hardware tests are passed.

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

 

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

 

Wont boot from USB

I recently got an errorcode and internet sources suggested I re-install win10. I only have a USB port and for some reason my PC wont boot with a usbstick.

I made the stick (fat32) on the Microsoft site using a diffirent laptop. I enabled usb boot, cms disable and put the usb stick on top of the boot sequence.

I am in trouble because I dont have a dvd-drive. Usb is all I got.

Any options?
