Windows installation media not found?

[Watup~]

After the pain of getting the windows installation on my Syber vapor to work, another problem shows up I can't even pick a location for the windows to install. The system says my drivers dont the have the media it needs to do it even though I used the window's media installer thinking it would work but nope pictures down below to show what im talking about (dont mind the green particles those go away after I refresh the screen) PS. also when I clicked show details it said that Windows needed a drive thats formatted NTFS i think it was called and none of those were. When I tried to manually select the USB drive I put it the computer its self it said no installation media was on it so welp. Also I did noticed that the system drive had the option format on it highlighted and I clicked it and nothing happened still the same message.

Ok, before even starting with this.. how about you RMA your GPU.

That would be a good start. Your GPU memory is faulty.

 

As for the errors:

1. You need to install your SATA controller drivers
2. Your HDD is on MBR, but your system is set to UEFI... UEFI works with GPT. Only BIOS supports MBR
3. Delete all partitions and start fresh

The 2 most frequent causes of this issue are BIOS mode setting [Legacy/UEFI], and physical port.  Sometimes, you need to get a manufacturer's pre-installation driver for the SSD you're using, but I come in contact with that issue nowhere nearly as often as the first 2.

 

If you're not trying to save any data or a recovery partition on the HDD:

 

-I'd recommend removing all listed partitions
-Check your BIOS to see if you're using Legacy or UEFI, and that the USB is formatted to use either
-Check if the USB drive is a 3.0 or newer drive.  Sometimes you can't use a 3.0 flash drive in a 3.0 port (yes, I said 3.0 in both areas) continue reading for understanding why.
-Check what port you're plugging into.  Oddly, some boards offer USB 3.0 support, but the 3.0 ports don't read at boot or are disabled.  Some BIOS will allow you to adjust this, but not all.  You may also only be able to use specific ports for flash media.  Some mainboards only allow the ports you generally use for keyboard and mouse, or the USB ports directly under the NIC port for installation media.  

 

I've personally gotten into a practice of using the ports under the NIC, or the ones typically designated for Keyboard/Mouse.  On laptops, I first use the port closest to the power port and then closest to external video port.  Not every machine or mainboard is this picky with the ports.  

The other killer is the Legacy/UEFI setting.  I've even flashed installation media incorrectly forgetting to grab the UEFI compatible ISO when installing on UEFI setups.  Or I've set the BIOS to UEFI, but I selected Legacy installation.

So I can delete like the middle three ones and create a new partition because I really dont want to mess up anything.

or is the system driver the most important one to delete?

and Yep its in  3.0 port and boots up the installer just find but when I go to find the driver its there but no media was in it...

Again, even if it is a 3.0 drive, try it in 2.0 ports if they are on the mainboard.  

Outside of that, One thing I have done, and had work on occasion, Is:

-Once you get to the windows installation screen where it doesn't show the flash drive, Remove the drive and place in another USB port (try a 2.0 port first, even if the drive is USB 3.0) 
-Don't restart the system, just close back to the initial Windows setup screen (for some it is the one where it asks language).
-Try going through the prompts and see if it now recognizes the USB drive.
