Laptop HDD detected in bios but will not boot up to windows unless a bootable USB stick is plugin

[micmic]

I will try explain everything as easy to understand as possible.

please watch youtube video here of the issue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJCqENUkUho

1. Bought a 2nd hand laptop Samsung Series 5 Ultrakbook (specs: i5 2nd gen proc, 1tb hdd, 8GB RAM, etc)
2. Format all the drive, installed Win10 using USB bootable.
3. Format was a success, computer booted to Win10 no issue using with Win10
4. I unplugged the USB stick, restart the computer now the comptuer will not boot Win10, it would just stuck on the Samsung splash screen for 2-3 seconds and just restart again and again.
5. I am still able to go inside BIOS, check in BIOS HDD is detected, boot order HDD is first no issue with BIOS - disable Fast boot option, AHCI enabled.
6. Restart the system again and still stuck in the loop, thinking it is OS issue, i decided to reformat the computer using Win10 USB.
7. When I plugin the Win10 USB, turn the computer back on, I missed to boot to USB and suddenly the system boots up to windows.
8. I remove the USB, restart the computer wait for it to boot up it wont it gut stuck in loop again. I plugin the USB, I did not boot to USB stick and the computer boots up normally.
9. I reformat the drive with this Win7 OS, after format and installation is done for Win7 the computer restart, waited for the computer to boot to complete the installation for Win7 funny thing the computer wont boot up, it get stuck again.in a loop.

summary: win10 boots up fine as long as the win10 usb is plugin, if reformat the drive using win7 it will not boot even the usb for win7 is plugin.I am not sure what the issue here, HDD? Mobo? CMOS battery? It seems that the computer does recognize the HDD in bios and recognize in the boot menu order but it will not follow its boot process.

I am sorry in advanced if i am not making myself clear, any feedback,advice, comments would help.

Thanks

How to do a clean install of Windows 7 or 8 on Samsung Chronos laptops
Published on Sunday, 5 August 2012 at 9:04 PM

First, some background. I've got a new Samsung Series 7 NP700Z3A-S06US notebook (that name just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) and the first thing I always do when I get a new computer that I didn't build myself is wipe everything off the hard drive(s) and install the operating system from scratch. This applies even to the "Microsoft Signature" computers, which are supposed to be bloatware-free, but still contain too much unnecessary stuff for my taste. So, when I looked over the installed software on this machine, I decided that I might as well do my usual thing and wipe it. That's where trouble struck.

This particular notebook computer, as well as similar Samsung models, contains an 8GB SSD (in addition to the 1TB HDD) that is used as a cache to speed up Windows and apps. Samsung uses Diskeeper's ExpressCache software for that purpose. Unfortunately, this SSD causes a rather large problem for the Windows installer. For whatever reason, Windows refuses to install its little "System Reserved" partition on the HDD, downright refusing to proceed with the installation if the SSD is already partitioned for ExpressCache. Once I discovered this, the only choice I had at that point was to repartition the SSD and let Windows install itself. However, things weren't that simple. After the Windows installer rebooted, the notebook went into a boot loop. I've never seen an x86-based computer do that before. I've seen many a boot error message, but never a boot loop. It appears that the BIOS really doesn't want to boot off the SSD, which is where Windows decided to install its boot partition. I had to figure out where to go from there - how to get the HDD into a state where both Windows and Samsung's BIOS were happy, and the SSD free for ExpressCache use.

Aside: I had some hardware-related trouble with this notebook, and in the process of trying to get it repaired discovered that removing or replacing the hard drive voids the warranty. I think that's idiotic. I had to wipe the HDD before sending the notebook in because it had sensitive data on it, instead of just removing the HDD.

WARNING: The following steps involve dangerous commands that delete lots and lots of data. I'm not responsible if you delete your precious memories. Only you are responsible.

Here are the approximate steps I took to get everything working again:

Boot off the Windows DVD or USB installation media
Choose the "Repair" option, and the command prompt afterwards (the way to get there is different between Windows 7 and 8)
Type in diskpart to get into the partition tool
Use the commands list disk and list part to determine which disk is what. For me, Disk 0 was the HDD and Disk 1 was the SSD. The following instructions assume this
Select the HDD: sel disk 0
Delete all partitions on it: clean
Create a 100MB partition for Windows 7 (change to 350MB for Windows 8): create part primary size=100 (or size=350)
Format it: format fs=ntfs quick
Assign it a letter: assign letter=f (if F: is in use, pick another one. Use list vol to see all volumes and their letters)
Create a partition that fills the rest of the disk: create part primary
Format it and assign it letter "C", as above
Reboot back into the Windows installation media and install Windows into the large partition that was just created
Again, reboot into the Windows installation media and go into the repair command prompt
Use diskpart's list vol and assign commands to ensure that both the boot partition (F and the Windows partition (C still have drive letters
Select the boot partition (sel part 1) and mark it as active: active
Exit diskpart and type in: bcdboot c:\windows /s f:
Reboot and you should be good to go!
After booting into Windows, you should be able to safely repartition the SSD to ExpressCache's liking, without killing Windows.

So who is to blame for this foolishness - Samsung or Microsoft? Yes. They are both to blame. Samsung should not have screwed up the system configuration to the point that using the standard Windows installer causes such problems, and Microsoft should not have made the installer so damned picky about which partitions must reside in which disks and in what order.
