Hey guys,
I build a new pc, first new build in 20 years.
I’m using an ASUs tug gaming x670e plus WiFi motherboard with and 7800x3d cpu.
I’m stuck with the windows installation from usb.
First attempt I used a SanDisk 8gb stick and windows media creator. That’s right load, but looking back that was probably because of bios settings.
second attempt I used a leef 16gb stick. Art the verify stage at 99% it failed.
Third attempt save stick same method created the usb successfully. Had to pay around a lot with bios settings to get the stick seen as bootable. But during the windows installation it reported a file inaccessible or missing. Soo I put the stick in another machine to check but the file in question was there.
Soo I tried again, but now it cannot start up from the usb stick.
I’m in progress of creating an iso usb using the 8gb SanDisk drive, but I think I’m missing something significant.
I’ve attached my bios settings for booting.
If anyone can give some clarification, that would be greatly appreciated! If I can’t die this tonight I’ll bring it in a shop this weekend (just for a windows installation, sigh)
This... happy hunting.
Make a cloned copy of the disk once loaded and configured but before adding data, antivirus or trashware with Acronis to a spare hdd for easy OS restore.
*Redundantly backup critical data, first*
Separate data drives + OS drive are best plus the backup drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Managed to get an install.
Had to change a few bios settings (apparently one of the videos I watched for the right bios settings was the exact opposite of what was needed). Agassi used an iso stick.
That seemed to do the trick.
Thanks for the suggestions. It’s much appreciated.
I managed to get things installed. My issues were a combination of bad luck with my usb drives (and how the bootable stick was generated), as well as some poor advice on YouTube that told me the opposite of what was needed.
I also had problems obtaining an activation key legally, but that got resolved as well, so I finally managed to get my pc up and running.
Thanks again for the suggestions!

Help would be great. I have a dell inspiron laptop (not sure exactly what model it is) and I made the mistake of downloading windows 8 consumer preview when it first came out and installing it directly on the laptop rather than dualboot or usb stick. It worked fine for a couple of days and then out of nowhere it wouldn't boot up. When I press the power button the screen will light up and the w8 logo will appear but it won't go past that part. Sometimes It will say auto repairing itself but I've left it on for two days to see if it would fix itself but It didn't. Is there a way to get in safe mode to atleast re install the iso file? I've been without a laptop for a couple of months already and can't afford to buy a new one!

so am I correct in thinking you have no installation media at all for windows? any version?
If so do you have access to another PC because to be honest, your probably going to need it
I assume you have tried hitting F8 on boot to get to the boot menu and that didn't work either?
in terms of your hardware its cool, that's not the issue, the software is, having an install disk would have made things a lot easier....
Yes I have access to another pc and no I don't have any available. I downloaded a newer version of the win8 in ISO format and put it on a dvd disc and tried installing it through the f12 key right when you boot up. The disc drive started running but nothing happened afterwards. Windows recently released a new version of win8. Should I download that one and try it again the same way I tried the first time?

ok, you hit F12 to get in to the boot menu is that correct? then you selected the DVD drive and it made some noises but did nothing?
Ok, Boot menus can be troublesome
What I suggest is go in to the BIOS and change the boot order to DVD first THEN HDD, if that doesn't work then take the HDD out of the boot order altogether, you will need to turn it back on again though to complete the setup
also, I want you to see if the DVD boots on another computer, the first ISO I downloaded was corrupted and whilst mine booted it would always fail to install, re downloaded it and no problems at all
Its probably worth downloading the RP ISO anyway, the previous version the CP, was mass tested in the open market so any issues with installing wouldn't have been worked out in the CP, hopefully the RP would have got most of them,
Hi, i did what you recommended and it worked fine until the install process! It took me to the install screen and i pressed install. Afterwards it gave me the option of automatically doing the install or choosing custom options only. I choose the automatic and it told me that i had to remove the disc and restart the computer and re inster the disc for it to continue! The problem is that everytime i do that it wants to boot up the original way where it wouldnt work! Any ideas. Should i choose the custom option instead ( but i dont know what to choose if i do it that way)??!! Thanks for your help
Reload and options

HI!
Yes, you are right.
Boot to the install media, at the option to do custom, select custom.
When the screen loads showing the partitions (drives)
-Click advanced on the bottom right
-highlight each partition and delete them (this will loose all data saved there but unless you have a boot disk or usb or remove the drive from the laptop, the data is usless anyway)
At this point you can click continue, or next Windows setup will auto create the partitions it needs and unpack the files, then finish install.
If you get any issues with files missing or media is corrupt from the ISO, you will need to down load it again, use the MS download manager or some manager to ensure the download is good and the file CRC matches what they have on the download site. I have seen this a lot lately so don't waste your time restarting the install if it has an error while coping files, just get a new download.
I hope this Helps.

This does resemble a copy error, or even a hard disk/hard disk controller problem.
I have a desktop computer that will no longer boot up from any IDE devices (even if their properly formatted, it also includes any optical medium), Trying to boot from them results in a "DISK NOT BOOTABLE" (something around that, Acer's boot errors are different from the usual ones.
Anyway, back on track, before all that happened, I had trouble booting the computer from the IDE HDDs, sometimes it would boot and sometimes it stuck at the Windows 7 loading screen till it said a file was corrupt or missing, or it BSOD'd.
I also recommend re-downloading and trying the install again, in extreme cases, if you have another HDD to test, try installing it on a different HDD. If that works, the problem could be your hard disk (or something more nefarious, who knows ^_^
First off i apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, i couldnt find a Q&A thread for windows, also ive spent hours on Google looking and couldn't find anything that worked, but anyway my aunt a few days ago hit her computer( shes the kind of person where if it doesn't work just hit it) and it black screended on startup, like you press the power button and nothing, its a lenovo (i dont know what model) but i booted it into recovery, did a BIOS recovery, but it didnt finish, so i checked to see if the computer was reading the hard drive and it is, im taking my Toshiba to swap the hard drive to see if thats the problem, she wants to keep all her data but i said that may not be a possibility, i just want to know if anyone here can tell me what might be the problem, im convinced its thr hard drive as the toshiba had a similiar fate a few months ago. So any help would be great, also again if this is the wrong thread im sorry
EDIT: I don't know if its Windows 7 or 8, also its current state is it stops at the lenovo boot screen

Try windows start up repair. easiest way to do this, get the windows installation disc and boot into that and select start up repair.
id guess a HDD failure or more likely a corruption with windows if it wasnt shut down properly
could also try a fresh install of windows, just dont format the harddrive during installation. this way windows installation should save all the old data into a (old windows) folder on the c drive

Before buying a new drive, put her hdd on your pc to see if it is still healthy, bad-sector-free. You check this with hdsentinel.
Also, try to boot her laptop with a hdd/ssd that is working properly.

I tried looking for a hard drive adapter, i didnt want to put the hdd into my computer as i read it could crash it as the drivers are for a different computer, but if it works without harm ill do it, also finding an adapter here isnt easy, as i live in mexico and BestBuy is 2 hours away

Hm, I don't think that plugging the hdd will crash your computer, but still, it's just a crash, unplug-restart and it's gone.
However, since I haven't been in a similar situation, you can try to plug it in a computer that runs any OS but windows, e.g. a linux pc, since win drivers won't affect a different OS.
Yet, I think it's obvious that if you plug it in your pc, you won't select it as a boot drive.
So, I know I botched the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and when I boot the Trio PRO-8 it automatically goes to a Windows error screen with "press the Windows key to enter UEFI firmware settings. Error Code: 0x0000225"
There are several places to go, that tell you how to factory reset, enter boot mode on the Trio Stealth, but I have yet to find anything for the Trio PRO-8
Has anyone used or modified this device? I've contacted Trio, but I keep getting the run around because I mentioned Windows 10, they think I am still trying to install Windows 10 and keep telling me to call Microsoft. Microsoft can't help me with this issue, or I would have already known about it. There is no "Windows Key" on this tablet. All I want to do is figure out how to re-load either the Factory installed OS and start from the beginning, or install a fresh copy from the SD card.
The tablet itself, before I botched the upgrade WAS a decent little table especially getting it on sale on top of it being low cost, up until this point I had been using it regularly for the last 6 or 7 months without issue, maybe longer, can't remember how long I've had it now.
At any rate, I appreciate your time for reading this, and would be grateful to any help to get this thing back up and running before my Grandson comes up to visit next month, when he's here to visit, it is his movie player
With an adapter, I was able to hook up a USB keyboard, even pressing the Windows key did nothing. However, after trying every F key at boot, and a few others, I found that the [Esc] will get you in to the system's UEFI bios. I've been experimenting with settings. I left my card reader at work, but tomorrow I'm going to make the SD card bootable and put a LiNUX distro on it and install that over Windows. Since I don't know what my Windows 8.1 key was for this device.
Going this route because the keyboard has to be hooked up with an adapter and there is only one port. I may try a powered USB hub and see if I can boot from USB with the keyboard installed and a flash drive.

This post is probably no longer in the right forum now, especially if I outline the procedure I used to get LiNUX on to this Intel based tablet.

No luck as of yet:
- Can't get it to boot off of USB
- Can't get it to boot of the Micro SD card
- Will only boot to the Windows error message
- will keep trying
hi
Amigo gets a multi USB otg, a mini keyboard with pad and usb wireless connector. I have the same tablet trio pro 8 upgrade to windows 10 as well. I have another problem with the various touch screen controllers. I can not make it work. I am using it with the keyboard but I would like to use it free without loading keyboard.
Already solved your problem?
Hello guys, my brother had this tablet for a short period of time and he upgraded it to windows 10, everything was fine but then he wanted to revert back to windows 8.1 so he wiped everything. After that nothing worked, he kept getting a partition error (missing partition) and could not do anything about it. He gave me the tablet in hopes of fixing it so i got a fresh copy of windows 8.1 from the microsoft downloader and put it on a pen drive. I also used to tool to make it into a bootable storage space and even injected the drivers from the CAB from the dell website using NTlite, but every time i start the setup the touch screen doesn't work (so i used a keyboard) and it also says media driver is missing. When i start the tablet without the usb i get missing hard disk error and can only access the BIOS and diagnostics check (shows no errors there).
This community has helped me before, hopefully they can help me again because i can't seem to wrap myself around the problem
I was moving quickly the other day, and I ended up with a 1+ 6T that does NOT appear on my PC when plugged in. It has a copy of TWRP running and Linage, but I can't seem to change anything. Msm and Adb seem to have no connection, I have gotten the fastboot program to occasionally see the device, and on occasion I see it in my windows explorer. I am trying to get this back to a 'good' state where I can change to OS or make any changes. I am uncertain is both A / B partitions are loaded with Linage. I had this working recently, but made some dumb mistakes.
I am also unable to see the SD partion on the windows explorer any more
How do I fix this mess?
Thanks
Ray

So what is your goal then? I would reinstall latest oos on both slots because who knows what base oos rom was on there. Then put whatever rom on. As far as the PC seeing it maybe the port is dirty or wire is bad I've had that problem. If PC doesn't recognize with mtp enabled in twrp then either your drivers are wrong on PC or the wire or port are bad.
Thanks for your reply. Pretty sure the culprit was a funky windows driver. I finally got MSM to work and restored everything to original. but since then have been having a bear of a time to load anything. More and more thinking that my machine has a problem. I may look at switching over to a different machine.
Thanks
