Corrupt Windows 10 Installation

[AndrewDafuqq]

I tried installing Windows 7 on my new PC first of all then it gave me the "a cd/did driver is missing" error and I tried to fix it, I couldn't fix it so I gave up and gave Windows 10 a shot, I downloaded the ISO, put it into a USB using Rufus/Windows 7 DVD/CD Download Tool then booted it up. Everything went fine then when it was at the "copying Windows installation files" it said "The usb is corrupt or missing" or something along those lines. I tried installing the ISO to the USB again but no luck. Any solutions?

Thanks in advance

You might try using Microsoft's Media Creation tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/) to create your USB install. Maybe Rufus is not setting things up correctly on your USB flash drive.

When I tried using this, it couldn't detect my USB, I'm gonna try another USB and see what happens.

It sounds like your USB device needs replacing. Media creation tool preferable method as it does it all for you and removes chances of using wrong parameters on rufus. Rufus was necessary in the past before the media creation tool started being able to make USB. Very rarely needed now.

I tried other USBs and they also didn't work, Is it because they are USB 2.0?
Anyways, I'm gonna try using the Windows Media Creation Tool with CD/DVD (and because I don't have another optical drive I'm gonna have to take it apart from the old PC and install it on my new PC for the time being when I am installing Windows)

unplug all non essential devices

USB 2.0 has no effect on it. Media creation tool runs error correction on file after its downloaded but before it burns it onto USB, so not sure how corruption sneaks in.

try this
open file explorer
right click USB
choose properties
open tools tab
choose error checking
click scan and repair drive

I install win 10 using DVD, I didn't know new PC didn't come with them so i ordered one. Now I find a lot of bios don't like booting from USB, its handy to have one. Its only ever been used to install win 10 lol.

ITs not by any chance a Sandisk USB stick? http://superuser.com/questions/957228/windows-10-media-creation-tool-we-cant-find-a-usb-flash-drive

Alright, this is what I have done:

1. Used the Windows Media Creation Tool and downloaded the Windows 10 ISO
2. Format the USB
3. Burnt the ISO file to the USB using Windows 7 CD/DVD Download Tool

and now I am going to see if it works with no errors!
Wish me luck! :O

YES!

THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!
I KEPT ON DOWNLOADING CORRUPT WINDOWS 10 ISO FILES FROM RANDOM WEBSITES!

USE THE WINDOWS 10 MEDIA CREATION TOOL IF YOU WANT MICROSOFT WINDOWS 10, DO NOT DOWNLOAD RANDOM ISOs FROM UNKNOWN SITES OR ERRORS MAY OCCUR!
