Bootable usb Problems

Go to solution Solved by dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd,

don't use a program, I find them all to be unreliable especially when it comes to Windows.

 

 

 

Open the command prompt and type the bold sections of the following lines, giving it time to perform the operation of course

 

diskpart (this may take a few secs depending on your PC)

list disk

now you'll see a list of the hard disks and sticks.  Find the stick and remember the number

 

select disk # (where # is the number of the stick)

clean

create part primary

active

format fs=fat32 quick

exit

 

Now open the ISO in explorer (using daemon tools or whatever you prefer to use when working with iso files) and drag everything over to the usb stick.

 

That's it, you're all done.  If that doesn't work, there's a problem with the ISO file.

Hi I recently installed Ubuntu on my pc with a Bootable usb with yum

But I wanted to go back to windows because some programs I use don't work properly

on Linux even with wine. So I created another Bootable usb with yum but I used windows7 iso .But this time when I selected the usb as the first boot drive it says

'Missing Operating system please insert boot media and click any key'.

Note that I didn't change anything in the bios.

So what should I Do?

The iso you used may have been corrupt or the way you made the drive doesn't have what is needed to make the drive bootable.
