i installed windows 10 iso file and made a boottable usb but when i try to install the os i get message a media drive your computer need is missing ... how can i solve this problem?
 
not too likely its probably a windows issue

can manually make a bootable flash drive--bit more involved

open command promp--must do it as administrator

type diskpart press enter--all following commands press enter after typing each one

list disk

select disk x

x being which ever one is flash drive 1 2 3 etc

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=ntfs --this takes a while so dont use a huge flash drive

assign

exit

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

mount iso as a dvd

bring cmd back up

cd d boot --d can be d e f depending which letter it mounted as

cd boot

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 x: x will be whatever letter your flash drive is

extract the iso to the flash drive using whatever tool you want

should now be bootable
