Ugh, went through hell today. Last night I got it to boot up and was ready to install. The installer prompted me to format my hard drive so I did, then it told me it could not install. My backup was basically erased with my Windows 7 OS, and I didn't have a recovery disc (that I could find, at one point I did.) So I got W7 and then it told me my HDD was gpt partioned. Given up all hope, then I threw in an old hdd from a computer I haven't popped open in 2 years. Worked like a charm, first thing I did was fix my 1TB I would've preferred to have it on. Not going through that again, I'll wait until windows 9 arrives thank you very much. ![]()
I then copied the contents of the Windows 10 Beta ISO to the flash drive. With the flash drive attached to the Dell, I attempted to boot from the flash drive. Tried rebooting by powering off the tablet and then powering it up. The tablet booted to the installed Windows 8.1 operating system.

Windows 7/8/10 Won't Boot from USB Flash Drive! Posted by Vicky Tiffany on Mar.08. The generated USB disk cannot normally boot the computers. I just wanted to comment that I had a similar problem for the last few days and here is what I had to do to solve it:1. I own a DVD copy of Windows 7 Ultimate - create an ISO of the DVD2. Use microsofts USB utility to create the USB installer3. Use INTELs utility to load the USB 3.0 drivers into the images on the USB installerNote: this took a while, probably at least 20+ minutes to complete, but it did work.4. On the target PC connect the USB installer to any USB 3.0 port and install.The problem that I was having was my new MoBo had only 2 legacy USB 2.0 ports, but I had my USB keyboard and mouse connected to USB 3.0 ports. Windows was having trouble detecting them because it could tell they were on ports it didn't have drivers for. I realised this because during the 'failing' installs (which we failing with the 'driver required' messages) my mouse was moving very lethargically 'generically' you might say. However, after installing the USB 3.0 drivers, and user the 'fixed' USB installer my mouse was responding rapidly as I would have expected.I believe that as a workaround users should TRY and unplug everything from any USB port except a legacy USB 2.0 port. In my case I would have had to remove my keyboard while insalling windows and just use the mouse, and hopefully hot-swap them back and forth. I am not even sure that would work, so good luck if you try that. Otherwise, I suggest you use the linked intel utility to load the USB 3.0 drivers onto you existing Windows 7 USB Installer.Hardware:Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151 MotherboardUSB KeyboardUSB MouseUSB Thumbdrive loaded with Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Hey guys, I spent days trying to figure out wtf I was doing wrong, it ends up that the Kingston Usb 2.0 Datatraveller DOESNT WORK!!!! I cant believe it took me so long to try another USB stick (this time 3.0, even though it doesnt actually transfer at max speed) AND OMG NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE WINDOWS BOOTABLE!!!! Make sure that your USB bootable shows on a working computer before trying the new BIOS (I assumed I didn't configure Legacy, UEFI, or any of the million options correctly)Simply put - Make sure your USB is not Kingston 2.0!!! And try on a working computer before a new one! Windows 8 and higher OS uses UEFI mode and has GPT Disk Partition type by default. Therefore installing windows 7 and lower OS that is BIOS Based and uses MBR disk partition takes some proper configuration to be successful.I ran into the same problem when I changed from Windows 10 (due to it's current flaw -the increased internet usage through background apps and system updates) to windows 7.Although it is marked solved, I still taken the time to add my comment hoping to help future readers of this thread.UEFI has feature called safe boot which adds extra layer of security to loader and it prevent booting from external sources like bootable USB Drive or CD. Therefore even you make Bootable flashdrive or CD it won't show up on boot menu or booting process.Prerequisite:Backup all your necessary data to an External Disk Drive/Flash Drive/ or another Unit. Do not just backup on the same disk with different partition because you might end up deleting all current partitions on the disk to install a fresh copy of Windows 7. See note below.What we can do:1.Disable Safe boot and change Boot Mode to CSM/Legacy BIOS Mode.2.Make a bootable USB Drive/CD that is acceptable/compatible to UEFI.1st Option: Disable Safe boot and change Boot Mode to CSM/Legacy BIOS Mode.1. ![]() Load BIOS Settings page ((Head to BIOS Setting on your PC/Laptop which differs from different brands. Usually by striking F2 key upon loading the unit and before the OS logo appears on the screen. Just search on net how to go to your BIOS settings based on your brand.)2. Disable Safe boot option from BIOS security settings.3.Find on your BIOS Settings about Boot Mode, change from UEFI(Unified Extensible Firmware Inferface) boot to CSM(Compability Support Mode)/Legacy BIOS mode boot. Remember that UEFI uses GPT partition type and CSM uses MBR. (Reference on GPT and CSM on link below)4.a From BIOS Boot Order make the USB as the first priority/first boot.(Remember to revert this option after the installation to prevent future error when booting Unit with attached USB Drive on its port).orb. You may skip 4.a and just press the Boot Option Menu Key before OS logo appears during booting. It's usually F8 or F10 or F11 or F12 on the most brands. Then select USB from Boot menu from options.5. Save and exit from bios6. Boot from installer and Install OS.Note:If your current OS is windows 8 or higher, as I said it uses GPT partition type disk by default not MBR thus you need to make the Disk converted into MBR or erase All Partitions until the disk is fully unallocated (means losing all your precious files) then create new partitions for your windows 7 System and Data Drive.2nd Option: Make a bootable USB Drive/CD that is acceptable/compatible to UEFI.1. You can find that information here from a post i sawHere are useful references. I figured it out!It appears that I have to change the Boot Mode to 'CSM' or 'Legacy' instead of 'UEFI'CSM or Legacy selection are for booting Windows 7, I think, and the UEFI selection is for Windows 8.Thanks Mr. I appreciate your efforts.This was the fix for me! Thanks!!Right PITA, all I'm trying to do is make my computer into an SSD hard drive computer!!0) Hard disk cloning didn't work because didn't have enough cables to make it work, so installing windows from scratch. New computers do not come with an external copy of windows installation media though, they do not have CD drives either, and they also do not come with a readable copy of the windows unique key. Instead the key is encrypted in the BIOS, so I hope that registers correctly once installation has completed. Anyway, instructions which have worked for me below:1) Download windows ISO file from Microsoft2a) DO NOT create a USB bootable using Microsoft's recommended program, it does not work!! (Wasted hours trying to do this)2b) Use a program called 'Rufus' to create the Windows USB Bootable memory stick! (Worked first time)3) Go into the BIOS of the computer (however you do that on your computer. To enter into my BIOS I have to press a hidden button inside a small hole with a pin.

PrefaceAs network administrator, at some point you may encounter issue where a Cisco router won't boot up normally. When you console in to the router, you do not see IOS prompt at all; instead it is either looping or there is this ROMMON prompt. This FAQ has been brought to help those that are unfamiliar around Cisco image troubleshooting process.Although this FAQ has been written mostly for Cisco routers, the concept applies to other Cisco devices such as switches and firewalls. This FAQ assumes some knowledge from readers such as running basic IOS commands, setting up TFTP servers, some IP network understanding, and physical/hardware troubleshooting.Following are typical cases in regards of router inability to boot up normally.Case #1Deleted/Corrupted/Wrong Type/No IOS image and Router goes to ROMMON modeWhen you notice your router won't boot normally and goes to ROMMON mode (showing the rommon prompt), it means that basically the router can't find a valid IOS image to boot from. The cause could be either one of the following. Valid IOS image file has gone missing, deleted, or corrupted (common case). Router has been configured to boot from media that does not exist (less common case). Router tries to boot up IOS image that is too big to fit into its DRAM (not that typical case). Router crashes suddenly out of the blue (rare case). Router has been configured not to boot up normally at all (one-in-the-million case)A router entering ROMMON mode is considered simple situation to remedy since it means of stable router configuration and of simple procedure to revive. The next case shows worse situation.Case #2Router Crashes and/or Boot LoopsWhen you have installed the wrong IOS (or one that is too big to fit into the router memory), the router may crash or boot to the ROMMON (ROM Monitor) prompt. In some cases, the router crashes after being up for years and left untouched. Cannot Boot Into WindowsOnce the router crashes, it may not enter ROMMON mode, keeps trying to boot up normally to no avail, and keeps looping.To revive a Cisco router that is unable to boot up normally, first the router has to be in stable condition which the router must enter ROMMON mode as first step. When the router seems unable to enter ROMMON mode by itself, you have to power cycle the router and issue the break sequence within few seconds the router restarts.In issuing break sequence, you need to consider the following. Boot Cannot Load Flash ChromeThe break sequence to enter ROMMON mode varies, depending on your Terminal Emulator software you are using and Operating System your PC is running. Check out the following link to find out proper break sequence.» »Next Step After The Router Enters ROMMON ModeOnce the router is stable and in ROMMON mode, you have several choices to revive.
