USB boot with Windows is extremely slow

[mohamedammar10]

I recently got some bad blocks on my hard drive so i used Minitool Partition Wizard and i took out all bad blocks areas in small partitions. After that, i made a win10 bootable USB (working 100%, i used it before) and try to install windows, it took literally about 30 minutes to show setup window before that is just blue screen with cursor, i can open cmd using shift-f10 and when i execute the command diskpart or chkdsk it took so long to start too. However, i was able to use Ubuntu live from USB with no problems. Actually it happens only with windows OS because i tried 7 and even few of these "mini xp windows". I'm clueless!

That would indicate your hard drive is still messed up. No matter what you've done with it.

What happens if you physically disconnect that drive?

If i disconnect it i suppose to be able to boot from usb? I though "hard drive not found" would stick on screen. Shoold i try? Why Ubuntu runs smoothly and i can put stuff in hard drive?

And where is the Ubuntu? On a USB stick?
What diagnostics have you run on the hard drive in question? What does the manufacturers tool say?

Yes Ubuntu on the same USB. I ran chkdsk on the "clean" separated drives and they are good it took hours but i waited. Also run hard drive diagnostic from the bios. It's failing, s.m.a.r.t passed but selftest didn't. Reported to the manufacturer they said its failing and needs to be replaced. I can understand it's the reason, but why just windows? Why on booting from a usb?

Maybe Windows is trying to access parts of the drive that Ubuntu is not.

It is dying/dead.
Replace.

You right. That must be it. Just removed the hard drive and the boot setup started smoothly. Windows must be checking things in hard drive and stuck in a loop (i can hear hard drive repeating same spinning sound). Thanx pal!
