I'm trying to install Windows 11 on this unsupported PC using the Rufus method, when booting into it from the UEFI mode it boots showing the windows 11 logo then the top of the screen gets some colored artefacts and then the computer restarts back to the old windows. What should be done in this case? When trying to boot from legacy mode it shows an error stating something about a memory error ramdisk or something and no option works. I reseated the ram and they work well anyways. I swapped the ram slots and the issue persisted. The already installed windows loads and operates normally with no component seeming to cause issues during use. The PC is a Dell Precision T3600 with upgraded compatible RAM and SSD. Thanks

So I have a 32GB USB drive with a custom Windows installer created by Rufus. I wanna create a bootable ISO, and put that ISO on a USB drive with Ventoy, without using all 32GB (only the necessary amount). What's the best way to do it? Is it still possible to resize the disk to the necessary amount without affecting its ability as a bootable USB?

I don't wanna waste my USB key as I have ISOs in there that I launch via Ventoy. Also, I don't feel like dealing with the privacy BS + forcing online account.

So I have this tablet (Toshiba wt8-a) which was originally shipped with windows 8.1 and it was super slow with very little free space left. I thought why not try to flash android so it would be faster and more free space. I first used gparted and wiped everything on the disk and made the partition to ext4. I then Installed Android 8.1 which run really quick but had tons of bugs for me to keep using it (screen staying on all the time, screen tearing, when I pressed the power button I couldn't open the screen by pressing it again and had to hard reset it, etc...). So I used gparted again and did the same think. I then installed Android 7.1 but still had some bug, although less than 8.1 but was also a little slower. So I thought to try Windows 10 next so that it maybe was more compatible and didn't run into bugs. I used gparted again and made it into ntfs. I then made a bootable windows 10 usb with rufus, but when I tried to boot, it said "No bootable device - please restart". I tried a lot of things with rufus to make usb bootable: a) GPT FAT32 b)GPT NTFS c)MBR NTFS d)MBR NTFS, then backup files to hdd, format usb to FAT32, copying back the files to usb. But nothing of these worked. Do you guys have any ideas why this is happening? Also do you have any better ideas I could try for operating system? Thanks!!

boot HP BW019NT Windows 10 USB Boot Endless Loop or Static Screen
HerosHyper posted a topic in Windows
Thanks for the answers I solved the problem myself Solution: 20H2 v2 was just too new for the laptop so installing 1909 fixed it. ------------------------ Hello. I want to install windows 10 20h2 v2 x64 on the laptop hp bw019nt which haves amd a9 9420. I downloaded original Win10 20H2 v2 x64 turkish ISO from microsoft and used rufus to make my toshiba 16gb usb a bootable usb. I plugged in the usb and it booted uefi or smth idk. after that the hp logo came and stayed for 10 seconds then it restarted and did the same over again for 3 times. after this a static screen came while in the hp logo and didnt go away/nothing happened. What do i need to do? I installed 8.1 and 7 before but it wasnt supported so i want to install windows 10. What did i do wrong? BIOS settings? Wrong rufus settings? Or too new windows version which i think this might be the problem. For example, on the support/driver page of this laptop, on the os selector: there is only windows 10 1903 and 1909. so maybe installing 1909 instead of 20h2 would be better? what do yall think? please help. -
I'm not sure if I have posted anything like this as of yet. But this is 1 of the more unusual issues that I haven't encountered very often. Anyway, I was in the process of creating a Windows 11 USB installer last night & I was following a guide/tutorial on Youtube for how to do so. I almost managed to complete the process last night, but right at the end, I get this weird error saying "Error: ISO image extraction failure." Considering I haven't done this very often, I'm not entirely sure if when you're doing something like if you're supposed to extract the ISO ahead of time or not... Nonetheless, I sure could use some help with this 1. As always, if any of you need more details or have questions, please feel free to ask & I'll reply back. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :)

So I have been experimenting all day trying to install PFsense in my new PFsense box (HP 8000 Elite) which I got for free and found relatively cheap quad nic card. I have updated the BIOS to v1.17(something on those lines). I have follow the PFsense wiki on how flash .img onto a usb. At first I thought I didn't flash PFsense correctly or a usb issue but that not may be the case. I have tired both Rufus/Linux DD/win32 on both current and previous versions of PFsense. I have tried boot off usb on my main rig and laptop and boot perfectly. When ever I tried to boot off usb on PFsense box I either get boot error or non stop flashing unscore. The only thing that would work was nanobsd, which I flash into my hard drive as well usb which both works. But I want install my PFsense onto my hard drive for squid cache. Right now it running nanobsd. Is there a way to install using nano bsd to install onto another hard drive or current one?

So i made a Bootable USB using Windows 10 iso via Rufus. Now when i connect it to my PC i go through the UEFI and access windows installation. The sequence goes fine until there's "this" error (shown in pictures) I did a google search of course and tried the usb port swapping method and even checked if my drive was there via CMD My SSD is showing online on Diskpart but cant see it on the PC yet. I also did convert it to GPT as I made my usb GPT bootable. Dunno really. Hope I can get some help from you genius people to get back up and game hard. Cheers

So, this is a little of a long story. 5 months ago I decided to buy a new SSD, a Kingston A400 240GB SATA3 2.5"/7mm SSD, for my notebook, an HP pavillion Sleekbook 15-105la. Everything went well with the instalation, except the fact that if I turn off the legacy boost mode, uefi doesn't work. Since then, I haven't been able to get any windows update installed correctly and the windows shop also doesn't work. Right now the ssd is installed as a mbr and I suppose I need to change it to gpt, so I tried to make a uefi usb-stick through rufus, with the help of this post https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-windows-10-usb-bootable-media-uefi-support#uefi_media_rufus and a windows iso from microsoft media creation tool, into my 32gb storage Sd. The problem is, whenever I try to boost the pc through the usb, I get the message checking media [Fail]. I've made sure to deactivate secure boost and to press F9 to boost the installation through the usb. I tried to boost the pc through my old hard drive by connecting it through usb, but it instantly sends me to system diagnostic and tries to repair itself. Now, I want to abstain myself from opening my notebook and reinstalling the old hard drive, also, I don't care about the data in my ssd, if needed I will format it. Thanks for the help!

My idea is to have a USB drive partitioned in two parts. One, for Files/Folders/Programs, and the other, for multiple O.S. (Windows and Linux). I partitioned it into two parts with the system utility Disk Management successfully. However, I started with one O.S. (Ubuntu) first, I used Rufus to make a partition bootable, but, Rufus removed the two partitions that I made, and made it a whole one for the new O.S., so, the partition for Files/Folders/Programs is gone. Rufus doesn't have an option to choose where you want to boot the O.S. when are two of them of course, therefore, it discarded as a tool for this case. My question is... Do you know a better way to do this, please?. Make two partitions in a USB drive, one for data and the other for O.S.

Hi guys, first of all nice to meet you. First of all, let me give my thanks for even reading this first post of mine. Here is my problem right away, Laptop : Toshiba L735 (It is old i know) The problem is i just replace the bad hdd with a brand new one (tested), and attempt to install windows 7 on it via usb (rufus). And i got the weird green dot thingy on display like in the picture when i boot in to the usb. The old hdd boot into windows just fine, albeit really slow The usb stick works just fine, i just install another pc with it before. I try all options, Fat32, NTFS, MBR, or GPT on the usb stick. None successful to install on the laptop. Bios detected the usb stick and the hdd just fine. So now i am at a loss what to do. Please if anyone ever has/understand the problem here. Many Thanks

TL;DR I solved my issue in a different way that I would've liked. This is a thread to help future people that might have the same issues. I started off by downloading an activated Windows XP x86 SP3 ISO pre-loaded with SATA drivers, easily available online since the support officially ended. I then put that ISO onto my 4GB USB drive with an older version of Rufus (as never versions aren't supporting XP) and restarted Lo and behold, black screen with flashing line in top left corner. I changed the BIOS settings from AHCI to IDE and still no luck. Through much pain, very long hours and a lot of different ISO to USB bootable programs, I finally found a program that seemed to work better than the rest: YUMI At least, I got to a blue screen where it's loading all of the XP files and everything, until it goes black screen and hangs forever. I then found information that the XP installer didn't work with USB 3.0 so I checked where my USB drive was and it was in a 2.0 port. All good there then. Eventually I succumbed and burned the XP ISO onto a disc. I restarted and booted from the CD and then... - same black screen with a flashing line. Through much research I finally found that Windows XP doesn't like Linux based operating systems or even just the leftover files from one. I then recalled a time many ages ago, where I installed Linux as a dual-boot with Windows 7. I removed it shortly after given I didn't know how to use the operating system. I then searched my entire C:/ drive and found Linux files inside steam game libraries. I deleted those files in hopes XP would install but still nothing. There was only one thing left to do - I found my phillips screwdriver, took the cover off of my 10 year old laptop and pulled out the SSD. Success. Windows XP did install, well on my harddrive that is. I shrinked the existing partition by 5GB and installed XP onto that. I came prepared and installed all of my Intel, Nvidia and Lan drivers at this time. They all installed just fine with the exception of a few un-important ones, like WLAN+BT combo Then, after a lot of relief and the sensation of frustration leaving my body behind, I put back the SSD and installed EasyBCD in Windows 7. The program couldn't see a secondary operating system so I added XP manually. I rebooted and it went straight to Windows 7. After opening EasyBCD, I found that my manually added entry was missing. At this point I said fuck it, I won't need XP that often anyway, and booting into the main OS directly is much faster. So to boot into Windows XP, all I have to do is when the BIOS is loading, I press F7 to open the boot menu and I then select the Harddrive instead of the SSD. Do note that the specific button will be different on your system, usually it's either anyone of the F-keys (except F8) or the Delete key. In a perfect world, I would have dual-booting with a selection menu, instead I got boot sequence via BIOS. It works and I'm happy enough with that. Specs of my laptop which are irrelevant anyway: i7 2820QM 8GB Ram GTX 460m Brand: Sager/Clevo

So I've just built my PC, installed Windows 10 Pro using the Rufus USB stick method and with a fresh new system I can't download anything, when trying to run anything I get the same constant message "windows defender application control to block this app", I've disabled Windows Defender and I can't disable Secure Boot in the BIOS. Done a fresh install twice and activated my key but still nothing, this is the most problematic PC I have ever seen.

I have a Lenovo laptop from probably 2014 that was running Windows 8.1 and wanted to update it to Windows 10. So I have a pen drive with windows 10 64 bit on it, and i loaded it up. I got to the partitioning step, and there were 7 partitions. I formatted all but 2 which were recovery partitions. I tried to load Windows 10 to the main partition with 800+ gb, and it says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." So then I saw something on google that said you could convert it to MGP or whatever it's called in the bios lol. So I try to boot into bios and i tried every way to get into bios and it just loops. It says Lenovo and then it comes up with a black screen that stays for like 10 seconds. It says Intel UNDI , PXE-2.1 (Build 083) Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation This product is covered by one or more of the following patents: US6, 570, 884, US6, 115, 776, and US6, 327, 625 Realtek PCIe CBE Family controler series v2.57 (08/27/13) PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM That just loops forever and like I said ive tried everything to get into bios. Please someone help me. Update: I formatted the USB as GPT and loaded Windows on it. This time when i put it in the laptop the lenovo logo has a loading sign under it. I get to the Windows setup screen and it lets me click next n which partitionn i want to pick, and when it gets to the page with the percentages and it says "Windows detected that the EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS. Format the EFI system partition as FAT32 and restart the installation." So I do as it says and pick FAT32 on Rufus and try again and it says the same error. Also I tried to goto the "Repair My Computer" option on the install now page and it now gives me the option to get to UEFI.

So let me start by saying that this software has been around for quite some time and it shows in its capabilities. This software can make DOS based bootable drives.... need I say more. This software also seems like it hasn't been updated in a while, as the latest update (2.2) only supports Windows 7 or earlier. No Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, but creating a boot drive on a USB doesn't seem to be its primary purpose. This software can create a bootable Windows install drive that can be used on motherboards that don't support UEFI booting, and this can be useful. Lots of devices out there don't support some of the relatively newer UEFI standards. I should get back on track and talk about using the software. It's clean.... like super simple and straight forward. So how do you use it? So first you'll want to select which drive to use, and if you only have one it will automatically select it for you (thumbs up). I don't suggest you go through the software in order because you'll probably do it wrong and the software will automatically select settings based on what you want to do. So then we get to gripe number two. The software only supports 2 different sources for what its doing. First is a .iso file, which wouldn't be a problem if you could just pack some files into an iso and use it, but no it only supports bootable isos. That was a bit of a problem as the free software i was using was a bit of a pain to do that. So the second file type? It would be great if you could put a Windows disk into your DVD drive and use that... but it isnt that simple. The second option is a DD Image such as a .img or .vhd file. So I tried Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 just to be sure. They wouldn't work no matter what I tried, and if you have gotten them to work with 2.2 then let me know. Windows 7 works, and works great, both for creating a Windows installation USB drive, and a bootable Windows drive. So final opinion? This software has been around for a while, and it shows. It also needs a major update, as the lack of support work recent versions of Windows is a major deal breaker. This software allows you to create Windows installation media for PCs that don't support UEFI and that can be useful... but that is becoming a lot less useful as UEFI takes over and I can just pop the files on a drive and install Windows. This software could have a chance though. It needs an update yes, but also a cut down on some features while adding others. The previous software I tested allowed you to use the operating system currently installed on your computer as the source files, so long as you used a Microsoft tool to create the necessary files needed. That software isn't available for Windows 10 yet, but Microsoft should be releasing that later this year. Rufus needs to allow for using a Windows disk as a source, or at least the use of any old iso file that Joe Blow can pack together. If they can can release a version that can do that, and support newer versions of Windows, it may have a chance in todays soup of similar programs.

This is my first post so constructive criticism is welcome, well here goes. The Rufus cuff is what they are claiming to be revolutionary wristwatch technology. the rufus has been in development for over a year by the team their CEO Gabe Grifoni states in the about area of the rufus' main website. (http://rufuslabs.com/#about) the Rufus Cuff so far has raised 128k of their 200k goal on indiegogo with only 12 days left in their campaign as of writing this. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-rufus-cuff-more-than-a-smartwatch-a-wrist-communicator#home the indiegogo link bring you to their page where similar to kickstarter shows you the benefits of contributing to their efforts in making the rufus possible such as their base model which goes for $239 and you get the choice of either white or black and all the way up to $888 where you customize the whole Rufus cuff, or for the business personel there is the $10k option wherre you get 40 Rufus Cuffs with the choice of white or black. if you look at the picture below you can see some of the highlighted features their advertising that the rufus cuff can do such as video calling and web browsing to some degree. Another point worth mentioning is that it is compatible with ios and Android so im going to assume that it uses your device as its portal into being able use all the features it provides. i just gave a quick and dirty of the Rufus Cuff the links i posted throughout the short article i wrote will provide more information depending on what your looking for and also the source for my information.

I build a new computer. It's 3 days old :> A friend of mine suggested that I should install UEFI WIndows(whatever this means) which need GPT. I don't know what he means. He just said that instead of loading BIOS, it will skip it and go direct in Windows.
