Booting windows 10 from usb

[yavuz650]

This must be simple. I have a bootable usb drive. When I set the bios to prioritize the usb drive and boot the PC, it starts booting normally then takes me to windows 10 setup which I don't want to install because it is already installed in the hard drive. I just want to boot the pc from the usb drive. How do I boot windows 10 from the usb drive?

We are not booting correctly from usb? How is this good?

It says C:\> so i think we are somehow inside C?

Update was inside a folder named IPMX6. Tried typing it in, bad file name again.

oops...typo.
We are in the right place.
type in dir
What does it return?

 

[yavuz650]

It returned what was inside the flash drive. Rufus folders along with ipm6x folder.. and their sizes

type in:
cd ipm6x
Press enter

type in dir, press enter
you should see update.bat

 

[yavuz650]

Oh god... i see it yes...

 

[USAFRet]

Oh god... i see it yes...

OK...when you are prepared, just type in
update.bat
Press Enter

DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS FOR ANY REASON!
Wait until it tells you it is done.

 

[yavuz650]

Oh god here we go.... it started. Please bear with me

Ok its done. It listed bunch of things and "done" next to them. I guess we just updated the bios?

It would appear so.
Now, to see if this actually changed things with the GPU.

Power off
Disconnect the USB
Plug in all your other drives
Verify it boots properly.

Assuming it does, power off again
Connect the new GPU
See what happens.

I connected the drives booted it. It started normally then i when i saw the windows logo, it instantly powered off... tried twice same result. What is wrong now?

Note that i could get into bios settings. Everything was normal there. But when windows logo popped op, it powered off...

Is this with or without the rx480?

 

[yavuz650]

Without.. this happened with 750ti installed.

 

[USAFRet]

So....we get partial windows, and then it dies.

I'm almost at a loss here...🙁

 

[yavuz650]

It cant end like this... There must be a way. What do you have in mind?

Dont let me down now. We have come so far

I'm going to call in some other troops.

Lol ok. By the way i tried installing the rx 480 it again didnt work. However the PC didnt power off. It just waits there with gpu sending NO signal to the monitor.

The most important thing here is that even if the pc did boot properly with the update installed the rx 480 WOULD STILL NOT WORK. I think the only way out of this is to buy a new lga 1155 mobo.

How long after the windows logo coming up does it power off?

Have you tried this more than once, if you do it MIGHT bring you to the safe mode menu. Try to boot windows in safe mode.

 

[yavuz650]

It takes 2-3 seconds to power off. And yes i did try this 3-4 times.

How do i even get to safe mode? There is no option for that? All i can get is the BIOS menu.

Usually if windows keeps crashing on startup it gives you the option to boot to safe mode when you start up.

Ok so now this will sound crazy but do you have access to another PC? If you do you can create the Windows 10 bootable USB, boot to that, and when the menu comes up you can do a Windows Repair. That may correct whatever issue it is preventing you from booting into Windows.

I can do that. It will take time but yeah I can do it. I will update this thread when I ready the usb.

What do you think about getting an lga 1155 mobo? There are gigabyte and asus h61 mobos out there.

 

[Rogue Leader]

Ok. When you boot from that USB it will give you a menu to install Windows or repair, you want to do a repair.

Did you record all of the BIOS settings BEFORE you flashed? I'm going to wager that at a minimum you have the SATA mode set incorrectly for the installed image.

Yes, this is a large possibility.

 

[yavuz650]

If that was the case, then isn't it unlikely for the pc to just shut itself off? I mean, a hard drive issue wouldn't cause such a savage shut down would it?

I don't think i recorded any settings before flashing. What specific setting are we talking about though?
