[SOLVED] Issue booting from USB Flashdrive

[mgtheredstar]

Hello. Recently I built a new pc. I want to install Windows 10 on my 2TB HDD using a USB Sandisk Cruzer 8GB Flash Drive. I tried using the windows media tool on the flash drive and inserting it into the PC and obviously setting the boot priority to the USB Flash Drive. I was greeted with a message that says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".

I also tried using a program called rufus 3.4 and connecting the iso to the flash drive. Same issue.

My specs:
I7 8700k
MSI 1070
16GB Corsair Ram
750w PSU
MSI Z370-A Pro

Any help?

The board has 2 USB 2.0 ports on the back panel. Have you tested them? Try also changing the CSM setting in BIOS.

Yes i have tried all usb ports on the PC. Also correct me if im wrong but CSM is Asus related. Ive tried toggling the Windows 10 WHQL on and off and that automatically changes and locks the boot mode to UEFI instead of Legacy+UEFI. The problem with UEFI is it boots straight to the BIOS and when I save and exit it boots to the bios again, as if it doesnt recognize the drives.

You can try updating the board's BIOS, if newer version available.
