Trouble creating win10 install usb

theleg · 29 Jan 2020 at 22:42

Been tryin to get the media creation tool to make me a new usb install but it never gets past 0% and i cant seem to find out why.

My old usb seems to be corrupt but no reason it should be. Very confused.

Anyone any idea why the creation tool might get stuck at 0%

Use a different usb stick?

You may have said it, corruption, try another drive.

Have you tried another tool or just the MS one?

Or download the iso
And use rufus or yumi to do it
Assuming you don't have another
Flash drive to try

Right, created new usb install and having the same issue that led me to think my previous usb was corrupt.

Boots and asks whether i want to install 32 or 64 bit, goes through a loading files timer for a few seconds and then an error 0xc0000225 pops up with either winload.exe or winload.efi.

This is a new install on an entirely new ssd

Do you have another machine to create the usb from?

Have you checked for memory issues? I’d be running memtest on any PC behaving like that.

There is an ISO file for windows 10 pro 1909 on my google drive after this thread: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...c-whinge-whinge.18876603/page-6#post-33309087

If you have a look through you are welcome to download and use the media.

I think I could dig an old laptop out to try.

As said set ram to default for the moment
Ie no xmp
As also said test on another pc
And also try vinces iso
If none of the previous works

Second issue with the windows ISO created by the media creation tool in a few days on here. @theleg the iso in that thread is a direct download from Microsoft Volume License Service Center and is confirmed clean and working

Yeah
That's the only issue
With using the media creation tool
You assume you will get the
Correct version and that
It will not be corrupt either
Knowing you have a good iso
Makes one less thing to
Troubleshoot

Well @Vince , that iso of yours did the job nicely, thank you very much. We are all up and running. yay

Thanks all.

Pleasure dude. There does seem to be some issues with the media creation tool but sadly unless you have an OVL, MSDN sub or some other way to get at it MS have removed direct downloads on their ISO files. I guess I should just leave it there for a bit just in case

just happened across this tool to fetch the latest windows 10 iso by chance
simpler to use than uup
ran it through virustotal came back 100% clean
downloads at bottom of page in case not using an adblocker
as links hard to spot
may come in useful
