Bought Acer cannot install windows from usb

[Pafo]

Well i can say i am pretty desperate.I bought acer v 15 (v3-575g-5210) with no windows.I have original windows 8.1 pro ready to install and eventually i will update to windows 10 so i got everything i need.The problem is that i can't do anything to install it.When i turn the laptop i got two options - clicking linpus Linux and create a bootable USB disk.So far what i learned that Linpus linux is only on acer laptop or i don't know and don't care.I followed the usual steps of installing windows i did made a bootable usb.When i choose create a bootable usb disk it asks me to put the usb in and when i do it ask me do you want to make your usb bootable if yes it will delete everything.And when i click yes it just give me some error and says 99 something failed plug the usb again.HOW i am supposed to deal with all that.PLEASE help i have run out of ideas.


P.S The eror is : Binary files /mnt/usbdisk/Linpus/rd-base.img.bz2 and /Linpus/rd-base.img.bz2 differ

You need to boot to the Windows Install USB - not the HDD. There should be an option(maybe in bios) to allow this.

i can't acces my bios if you know how please tell me

usually you tap f8 or f10 while its booting to get to the boot menu,


it can be tapping delete key on bootup to get into bios but it depends on the motherboard manufacturer

I just managed to acces it and i read that uefi boot is not going to work for me i chose legacy.I will try to install everything again hoping that the windows will be avaible as an option ?

oo did find the boot priorty now there are:
1.hdd
2.atapi cdrom
3.usb fdd
4.network boot
5.usb hdd
6.usb cdrom

which one should be priority?

 

[ss202sl]

To boot to a usb thumdrive - USB HDD. Sometimes there is a 1-time boot priority where you can chose to boot to the USB HDD just this once.

I think i installed it now i have to return the priorities right?

 

[ss202sl]

Yes. Set it back to boot to HDD first.
