Failed to load ldlinux.c32

[AskingForAFriend]

I get this when I try to reinstall Windows 10. The USB is in FAT32 and the partition is in NTSF (i think that how it's called) and this format works (it would take too long to explain how I know so just take my word). The Linux partition is on the same SSD as the Windows partition I want to use though. Any fixes or help?

What program did you use to put windows 10 on the thumb drive?

no clue, i got it from amazon already extracted. I found some software that might help (special extracting) but if you could reccomend some it would be great. Universal USB Installer

is the one i found.

Personally I fancy Rufus. Works well once you learn it.

"Also, if the checksum does in fact match try Universal USB Installer instead of Rufus" quote from a thread I read.

The checksum? Unless you've used Rufus already and it failed you then you can't say it isn't working. As it stands right now however the Windows.ISO was installed to that USB isn't working for your build so it's worth giving Rufus a shot if you have another thumb drive around.

 

If Rufus was used to install the ISO the person who installed it may have not used the settings necessary for your computer. You're using UEFI-BIOS. Rufus may have not been configured to boot the USB with that. I can instruct you through what settings have worked for me on just about every machine I've used it on.

 

Before doing that though did you try clicking F10 and forcing the BIOS to boot to the USB manually? Sometimes you'll see more than one USB listed. One for BIOS and one for UEFI. Both are the same physical USB just different boot methods. One compatible for older board. One for the newer UEFI standard. These options aren't always visible from the boot menu in the BIOS.
