This Piece of Sh*t Won't Boot

[byalexandr]

Okay, so I am setting up a folding rig. Mostly so I fill up my otherwise empty room, but also to put the PC to use since I have it doing nothing. Specs:

 

AMD Athlon 7750

HP M2N68-LA AM2 (OEM crap)

Samsung 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB)

PNY GT 610 2GB (DDR3 crap)

320GB Fujitsu 2.5" 5400RPM HDD (from an old laptop)

220W TFX PSU (OEM crap)

 

Anyway, I was going to install Windows 10, since F@H is the easiest to set up on Windows 10. I booted up with one of my USB drives that has Windows 10, that one wouldn't even give me an error, just a blinking underscore. I remembered that the installation on that USB drive is UEFI, so obviously this board isn't going to recognize the drive (although it did in the BIOS).

 

So I put in my other Windows 10 USB drive, which has regular MBR partitioning. Well that thing spit out an error, something about a read error or something, even though I had just used the USB to install Win10 on another PC.

 

What gives? I've had Win10 on this PC before, why is not working now? The drive it's going to be installed on is empty but that can't affect it... What do you guys suggest?

 

In the mean time I'm downloading Ubuntu, hopefully it works, even if it's going to be a bitch to get F@H to work on it.

 

Thanks!

Try FAT32 or NTFS.

Try FAT32.

The second one I tried is formatted in FAT32.

 

I'm about to try Ubuntu so I'll format the drive with FAT32 in Rufus.

 

My edit to your edit: The first one was NTFS since it was a UEFI partitioning copy, still didn't work.

I've also tried resetting the CMOS but that seems to have made it worse...

 

Edit: Ubuntu finished downloading so I'll give that a go.
