You can create a bootable USB flash drive to use to deploy Windows Server Essentials. The first step is to prepare the USB flash drive by using DiskPart, which is a command-line utility. For information about DiskPart, see DiskPart Command-Line Options.
Sie können Installationsmedien (einen USB-Speicherstick oder eine DVD) verwenden, um eine neue Kopie von Windows zu installieren, eine Neuinstallation durchzuführen oder Windows neu zu installieren.
Um ein Installationsmedium zu erstellen, rufen Sie die Website für den Softwaredownload auf. Dort finden Sie eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen.. Auf dieser Website können Sie eine Version von Windows auswählen und mit einem USB-Speicherstick oder einer DVD ein eigenes Installationsmedium erstellen. Um direkt zu einer der Versionen zu wechseln, wählen Sie einen der folgenden Links aus:
Ein USB-Speicherstick, eine externe Festplatte oder eine DVD. Ein leerer USB-Speicherstick oder eine leere Festplatte mit mindestens 8 GB Speicher oder eine leere DVD (und ein DVD-Brenner). Wir empfehlen die Verwendung eines leeren USB-Speichersticks oder einer leeren DVD, da andernfalls alle vorhandenen Dateien gelöscht werden. Wenn Sie beim Brennen einer DVD aus einer ISO-Datei die Meldung erhalten, dass die wissen, dass die Datenträgerimagedatei zu groß ist, müssen Sie ein Dual-Layer-DVD-Medium verwenden.
The steps described on this page assume you have Windows installation media and access to a Windows technician PC. If you're looking for an easy, automated way to create a bootable Windows installation flash drive, see:
For those curious, it's possible to use a Mac to create a Windows 10 boot drive, but the process is fairly involved and requires familiarity with Terminal, the Mac's command-line tool. It's not a process that I'd recommend for the average user. I recently built my first gaming PC, and despite my mild comfort level with Terminal, I still found using a Windows computer to be a safer and easier process.
4. You'll be asked to select the language, edition and architecture you want to use. By default, the tool will use the best options for the PC you're creating the boot drive on. You can change any of the options by unchecking the box next to Use the recommended options for this PC and using the drop-down options. If you're unsure about whether you need a 64-bit or a 32-bit architecture, select Both from the Architecture drop-down.
When the tool is done, click Finish and remove the USB drive from your computer. Going forward, if you need to install or reinstall Windows, you can connect the drive to your computer and reboot it. Your PC should boot to the drive, giving you the option to install Windows.
If it doesn't automatically boot to the drive, you'll need to reboot your computer into its BIOS firmware -- usually done by pressing Esc, F2, or a similar key while the computer is starting up -- and change the boot drive or "bootmenu" to your flash drive. The process for each computer (or motherboard if you're building a gaming PC) will be different. When you first turn on your computer, there'll be a small line of text telling you which button to press to enter BIOS. If you don't see it, or it goes away too fast, I suggest consulting your manual for instructions.
I can't boot from USB even though the BIOS is set to boot from USB first. Windows Boot manager somehow seems to be taking precedence. I have Windows 7, Linux Mint and Ubuntu installed on my hard-drive. When I boot-up those are the only options, despite having a USB stick plugged in then going into the BIOS and setting the UEFI USB stick as the primary boot device.
The USB device is fine as I can see it in Windows/Linux and can read the files. I made it bootable (in theory) by using linuxlive and/or pendrive with no success (though I've had success with both in the past).
You need to enable booting from non-EFI devices. This option can be found in most BIOSs called the Compatibility Support Module or CSM. This option is sometimes hidden until you disable Secure Boot. I've also seen it hidden until Fast Boot is disabled. Once you enable the CSM module and set it to boot EFI + Legacy boot devices you shouldn't have any trouble booting your USB device.
Your USB must have UEFI boot enabled. To do so, burn your ISO image to stick using Rufus (download here: . Select 'Rufus V1.3.4'and download it. Open the tool and under partitioning Options select 'GPT Partition Scheme for UEFI computer'. Select your ISO from the small CD Drive Icon under format options. Click start. When finished reboot your computer and select the UEFI USB options from the manufacturer's boot options.
I came across this post since I had a similar problem. i.e. my boot sequence in the BIOS was set to: Removable device, CD and HDD. I had my Windows 7 installation on a bootable USB sticked in, (no CD), but still it would boot in the OS from the hard disk drive.
The 16 GB USB stick I was using was not considered as a removable device. In the BIOS settings, I found that the problem was in the hard drive setting sections, so I changed the HDD setting from SATA to Sandisk. The BIOS setting was still Removable, CD and HDD, and this time it booted from the USB.
As soon as I reset the BIOS, it could identify my USB in a whole different way. Already as the first boot option and even the brand of the USB was there. So I pressed F10 and Enter to save and when rebooting it worked as predicted this time.
Having an about 10 year old i7 machine, I want to re-install Windows 10 Pro over the existing Win10 Education installation using a USB stick. But when booting the Win10 iso, I only get a black screen with blinking cursor. Nothing happens, even not after waiting for a longer time. The used ISO file was generated using Microsofts Media Creation Tool.
I tried installing 1709 on USB stick which works perfectly. Since Win10 has forced updates, I'm surprised if the system is working after installing the latest auto-updates, which bring the system up to 1803.
I had a similar problem a few hours ago (black screen w/cursor after trying to boot from USB on an old computer, despite that same USB working on newer ones), and user Igb suggested that I try using a program that "helps you boot from a number of sources", called Plop Boot Manager:
You'd have to burn the downloaded ISO onto a CD/DVD (or another flash drive) and boot from the disc, then select the USB drive and try to boot from it. It worked perfectly well for me, so might be worth to go for it and see what happens.
Used Rufus and tried manual ISO build to USB with powershell. When trying to boot from the USB, the windows blue background displayed foe a splot aecond then went to the flashing cursor and seemed to hang. I left the machine on over night in that state and next morning it was showing the setup screen - just needed patience. It was odd the windows loadong background showed up and then displayed the cursoe for ages - assumed it had hung.
I am having a similar problem. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on an old HP All-in-one (TPC-Q003) which belongs to a friend of mine.I've created a bootable drive with Rufus and apparently the motherboard is compatible with UEFI, but when I try to start the installation, it shows the Microsoft logo, then the screen turns blue and I get the blinking dash.I saw a lot of people online talking about waiting it out, but it blinks for maybe a minute or two and then the computer shuts itself down. Any ideas on how to work this around? Thanks in advance.
It is basically poor UI design, I think Microsoft want you to do the upgrade from a running OS. Nevertheless, this is not really forgiveable, there should be some indication that boot has occurred or is progressing.
And\nwhile users historically would pop a boot media disk into their DVD or CD drive,\nmany computers no longer come with optical disk drives. As a result, booting\nfrom USB media is becoming the standard. How you start that rescue media can\nvary depending on your operating system, but a few general guidelines can help\nget your machine started. So if your system is unstable, you need to run a\ndiagnostic tool on the hard drive, or you want to\nload a Linux desktop just to see what it's all about, let's look at how you\nstart your machine via rescue USB boot media.
Bootable\nmedia can be CD, DVD, USB flash drive, external hard drive, or other removable\nmedia that enables users to run the agent without an active operating system on\ntheir computer. The primary purpose of bootable media is to install Windows on\na brand-new machine or reinstall Windows should it crash on your current PC or\nlaptop.
Bootable\nUSB drives work similarly to the legacy floppy disk drive (FDD) boot. It\nprovides an alternative way to repair, recover, or install an operating system.\nYou'd need a legitimate bootable USB drive to connect to the PC to perform a\nUSB boot. You can set up the USB via a native component or third-party\nsolutions available on the internet. The tool will copy all OS components and\nboot sequences into the USB to command a successful boot.
Creating\na bootable USB drive doesn't need to be complicated, though there are several\nrecommended options to consider. For Mac users, we recommend visiting\nApple's support page on USB boot media.\nIt provides guidance specific to the iteration of OS X you are running (i.e.,\nSierra, High Sierra, Yosemite, etc.) to help you get the boot version you need.\nWindows and Linux users might consider Acronis Disk Director 12.5, which includes\nan intuitive Boot Media Builder that streamlines the process and offers\ntremendous flexibility for the type and kind of boot media you can create,\nincluding WinPE media.
Now\nthat you know the specifics, you can see that FAT32 is an excellent storage\noption for most systems. However, it limits the single file size to 4 GB. Since\na Windows 10/11 ISO requires at least 8 GB of free space for the ISO, FAT32 may\nbe used for a recovery drive but won't be the right tool if you want to install\nor reinstall Windows. On the other hand, NTFS doesn't have size limitations,\nand it also supports data compression. Therefore, NTFS should be the default\nfor Windows bootable USBs to ensure a successful install.
