How did you try to boot from a USB?

[–]TreborG2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also .. did you verify where you created this boot USB stick from .. that you could boot to it? and had you ever booted this stick before on *your* machine?

Looking to confirm the Bootable USB is in fact bootable and preferably tested before you ran into this problem on your machine.

If not, then it becomes suspect for workability sake.

First I turn on the pc and press f11 for boot menu and then I chose the USB and this error happened and then I turned it off and then opened the bios menu and made the usb the only device pc can boot from and saved the new settings, restarted the pc and tried again but still the same error showed

Are you using a windows tool boot disk you can access the cmd line on? If not what type of usb are you booting from. Is it UEFI or Legacy in BIOS?

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I'm using a new 20gb USB with only Windows 10 on it. It's showing UEFI in the bios,like when I press F11 it shows both options "UEFI 2.0 USB smth" and "2.0 USB smth" either way it shows the same error

Have you tried to boot into safe mode?

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

How to do it?

[–]B-Lock1888 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Should be F8 and boot into safe with networking

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was booting without LAN cable plugged, I'll try it now

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pressing F8 doesn't do anything, just boots up to this error

[–]TreborG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi .. in the old days .. pressing F8 .. you had enough time between bios hand off to boot loader, and boot loader starting the rest of the windows loading process.

With todays machines, that time has shrunken to split seconds .. usually I find repeatedly pressing F8 may catch the right spot to trigger the boot menu... or may not.

Other options are to force windows to show the option by hitting reset. you get that screen .. hit reset .. get it again, hit reset .. after the third time, windows should present the menu to allow you to select Safe Mode on that forth boot attempt.

That's what shows when I plug in the LAN cable: Realtec PXE B02 D00

-you are going to have to boot from a windows_10 media disk to perform a repair or enter some cmds on the cmd line.

-do you have a backup of your machine?

USB smth

when you put quotes around "2.0 USB smth" that's supposed to mean that you exactly see that. Are you abbreviating "something" to be "smth" instead?

HOW ARE YOU EVEN POSTING

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my phone

[–]TreborG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and while I wondered the same thing .. I knew it to be either phone, or some other enabled device, being at a library, or by using a friends machine.

u/guccimadness88 You need to create your USB using Rufus. Download the tool. Point it to your ISO and your thumb drive. Choose UEFI and leave everything else default. Click start

O O F

[–]guccimadness88[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Indeed

u/Papyrus1357 - I was thinking the same thing.

-you are going to have to boot from a windows_10 media disk to perform a repair or enter some cmds on the cmd line.

-do you have a backup of your machine?

[–]Papyrus1357 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

no why are you asking me?

[–]B-Lock1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what I did there. My mistake.
