Windows 10 bootable usb on my Ryzen PC

[iversxn_]

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

Why not just use the windows tool?

Yea I agree here. You're factoring in another software when Microsoft provides on on their site that does just fine for me. @iversxn_

Have your friend just download the Microsoft Tool. This should fix your problem. You don't need to format your drive either, windows does that automatically.

I guess that's the only way left. Aight, might just have to do it. Sorry for the trouble. Cheers

Your friend doesn't sound very experienced if he doesn't know what the media creation tool is. 

Download and use microsoft's media creation tool. Anytime a company releases a 1st party media creation program, use it. 

IF you still have issues, you will need to download your motherboard's SATA drivers and put them on another flash drive and load drivers from that. This does happen from time to time where the windows installer misses a sata chipset and needs the drivers loaded separately.

Yea 'bout to go somewhere and try to get this done. I thought he knew what he was doin so yea. I guess he messed up. Cheers tho. 

 

Wanted to mention something if you'd read this post, are these connected in any way?

I confess I didn't want to read all above. The steps you have to do are Clear the stick in Diskpart. Make it bootable then and as the dudes said before use Media Creation Tool to make it Ready for installation. There are other ways too, but this is the most beginner friendly way.

 

I hope this will help you:

Step 1 & 2

 

Step 3

Those could very easily seem related, but there is a difference here. Your drive not being detected is most likely an issue with the drive itself. Failure to load sata drivers is most likely your install disk.

Not helpful for his specific issue, but a good beginner's guide for those who don't know how the Media creation tool works.  

His issue is not how to make the install disk, it's the lack of sata controller drivers on the install disk he has.

What drivers are you trying to install?

 

They should already be extracted with the .INF, .CAT and .SYS files.

Did you say you formatted the drive? 

 

Edit: If your boot type is set to UEFI and not Legacy, the drive will format itself into the four partitions. Check the BIOS and make sure you have set this to a UEFI setup.

My SSD is a new one as my old one died sadly. 

I boot using UEFI usb, can you explain how to do the latter part?

When you boot from the USB drive, there should be two boot options on it. One will say UEFI, the other will just have the name of the drive (legacy). For some newer drivers, the UEFI mode has to be booted. 

If this still doesn't work, you will need to put your motherboard's SATA controller drivers on a seperate USB drive and navigate to that during the install process. If you are having difficulty finding drivers, feel free to post what motherboard you have here and I'll take a look around.

I choose the UEFI option always. So i have An Asrock B350 Pro4 Mobo and I went and downloaded SATA Floppy img. on the product website. So Can i just put the file i downloaded on my Win 10 USB or i gotta get another USB? 

 

P. S SATA Floppy img came as a .zip file i extracted it and there were many .sys, .cat, .inf files. Are those it? 

@Brink2Three

 

Thanks for the reply btw.

Wait a minute.. The media creation tool actually works? I've never gotten it to work and have always used Rufus.  A couple days ago I needed to install windows on a new build and I bought a brand new USB and WMCT failed in a USB 2 port and a USB 3 port so I gave up and used it to download the newest iso and then created the bootable USB with Rufus.  Honestly, WMCT seems terrible.

I use WMCT, never used Rufus for that, never encountered any problems with it. It must be something on your part.

Yes to your second question.

You want to put those files on a second USB drive and have it plugged in when booting. You'll load the drivers by selecting the extracted folder that you're listing as your Sata Floppy drivers. That sounds like the correct folder if that's directly from the Asrock website.

So i took a break doing this as i had exams ongoing. Today i tried to do the driver trick with other usb. All drivers are raid drivers. None work with my pc. So now I'm back to the same issue. 

 

If anyone can help me with the drivers would be lovely. 

Motherboard is Asrock B350m Pro4

Figured it out. Used Rufus and downloaded iso from Microsoft. And followed the settings in the attached screenshot. Works. Media tool sucks
