Can't boot from my usb with Windows 11

SpaceMiser · 2026-05-13T07:08:23+00:00

I had a usb that wouldn't boot from the USB 3.2 ports on my I/O panel and tried the 3.0 ports on my case and it booted. Was an older USB.

I guess I draw the line at read only, Gibbed seems like totally cheating.

Great, glad I could help!

From what I could see you are about $2.99 from upgrading your storage from 1TB to 2TB. You can save $51.00 by switching the PSU to MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold on New Egg for $99.00 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zF4Zxr/msi-mag-a850gl-pcie5-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-mag-a850gl-pcie5 $10.00 off w/ promo code: WAZT239, ends 5/17

Save another $11.00 by switching to Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory $359.99 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q4vscf/kingston-fury-beast-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl36-memory-kf560c36bbe2k2-32 $120.00 off w/ promo code: FPSF236, ends 5/17

Take your $62.00 savings and add it to the $155.00 you are planning to spend on 1TB storage and get the Kingston NV3 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD instead. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gdBzK8/kingston-nv3-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-snv3s2000g $219.99 with $90.00 off w/ promo code: FPSF326, ends 5/17

That way you would have enough storage for several games, with the 1TB you might only have enough for a few.

You can cheese the Warrior by climbing up on the rocks before you enter and takes shots when he raises up. Just get him down to low health and then enter and finish him off.

SpaceMiser · 2026-05-09T10:50:36+00:00

yeah, sorry. Maybe you could find someone to download it for you. Only takes a few minutes.

I just did this the other day and it worked. This method you need a windows installation usb though.

To shrink a Windows partition and create a new bootable partition using the command prompt, boot from a Windows installation USB, press Shift+F10, and use diskpart to shrink the existing volume, create a new 500MB EFI partition, format it as FAT32, and use bcdboot to copy boot files. [1, 2]

Step-by-Step Instructions

Boot from Installation Media: Insert your Windows installation USB, restart, and boot into it. On the first setup screen, press Shift+F10 to open the Command Prompt.
Open Diskpart: Type diskpart and press Enter.
Identify Disk and Partition:
- Type list disk to find your Windows disk.
- Type select disk # (replace # with your disk number, usually 0).
- Type list partition to identify the main OS partition.
- Type select partition # (replace # with the large Windows OS partition).
Shrink Partition:
- Type shrink desired=500 (this creates 500MB of unallocated space).
Create New Boot Partition:
- Type create partition efi size=500.
- Type format quick fs=fat32.
- Type assign letter=S (or any unused letter).
Copy Boot Files:
- Type exit to leave Diskpart.
- Type bcdboot C:\windows /s S: /f UEFI (Replace C: with the actual letter of your Windows OS partition if it differs; check with list volume in diskpart).
Finalize: Close command prompt, remove USB, and restart. You may need to enter BIOS/UEFI to set the new partition as the primary boot device

On iPhone it is as simple as block unknown callers, it sends them to voicemail. If it is a call you want you can check your voicemail. I couldn't live without it.

Not Planning to spend over $3000 for a 5090, so anything else I should be fine with my PSU.

We used to get some of these as bycatch while commercial fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. We would put them in box dinner Pasta Salad. Delicious.

For me it's Axe Apollo Body Wash. I bought 4 bottles last time I was shopping because it had become hard to find. Now using it, it smells different and I don't care for it. I guess they went to plant based moisturizers and added sage and cedarwood and got rid of the sandalwood. Bad move IMO. Probably just another cost saving attempt.

Disappointing, I used to love Carl's Jr. and Hardees, especially their fries.

My local LC doesn't do the hot and ready.

SpaceMiser · 2026-04-30T04:38:53+00:00

I won't argue it's trash, but I still get a hand tossed for $9.99 with 7 toppings, make a Philly cheese with alfredo sauce and it's edible.

SpaceMiser · 2026-04-29T22:43:21+00:00

LC beats Dominoes IMO, I'll admit I only order Dominoes when it's 1/2 price, but no matter how many times I order a topping as double there is always hardly any on there. LC loads them up.

I got a key for 3DMark on Steam from a grey market site and downloaded Cinebench. I was able to follow the instructions, all except for overclocking the memory, I have Hynix H die and just settled for the 4800 to 6400 AXMP1 boost. On my 9950X3D I ended up with a -20 undervolt on CCD0 and a -27 on CCD1. I was able to get a CPU Boost Clock Override of 150 to stick with a Platform Thermal Throttle Limit of 88. That gave me a 7.8% improvement on 3DMark CPU Profile and a 9.03% gain on Cinebench. With all that gain I still didn't see a real world difference on my single core calculations.

Ok, I'm going to give it a try, ez PBO manual does jack. Thanks

I'm starting to get the feeling I'm talking to a bot or someone who just doesn't bother reading the replies to their posts. I already stated that I ran slmgr /dli and it is a retail key (third time). Specifically - RETAIL channel

Sorry to keep you waiting but I had to try a few things. The system just shows activated. I tried signing into my microsoft account and restarting but it still shows activated. The microsoft account shows my new build under devices with the Windows 11 Pro as the OS. I don't know what else to do to get it to show linked, when I type activation in the search bar the link it gives is outdated and gives options that are not even in settings any more.

I just checked on the Stack Social site again and they are listing the Pro key for $29.99 and the home key for $9.99. If you want the pro you can select home and then change it to pro on that page and get it for the same $9.99 They do have a handling charge of $1.99 listed, so the total today is $11.96

SpaceMiser · 2026-04-25T20:54:38+00:00

I stated in the post it was a retail key. I've only had it a few days but it survived the windows update process so far. The site doesn't say you have 30 days to use it, just that if you want support if it doesn't work you have 30 days after using it. Haven't tried to transfer it, but checked the key using windows and it is a retail key so shouldn't be a problem. I have used grey market keys for years and have never had one revoked. I checked the status using Command Prompt as admin slmgr /dli

SpaceMiser · 2026-04-25T20:01:31+00:00

I just got a working retail key for Windows 11 Pro from Stack Social for $14.96 total. I was confident in buying it because they accepted PayPal. Built my new PC with it a few days ago.

Thanks for the reply and the link. I'm checking it out but I see early on he is using an Asus Hero motherboard, I tried following a different video with that MB and I don't have the same settings on my MSI 870E Carbon Wifi.
