DL'd ISO through mediacreationtool but it didn't recognize the USB...
I spent an entire day downloading the ISO file for Windows 8.1 through the mediacreationtool, my Internet connection's very slow so I had to take out the USB meanwhile and couldn't get the program to recognize it once I plugged it back in.
I want to Factory Reset my computer and it won't let me without a drive/CD with Windows 8.1. What can I do to mitigate this problem? Did the program actually save the file it downloaded somewhere? Can I manually burn it into a USB drive or do I have to download it again? My Laptop's a Samsung notebook and it doesn't have a CD drive so burning the ISO into a DVD's out of the question. Can the ISO be burned into a USB drive without having to download it from mediacreationtool with the drive plugged in?
I really want to reset my computer and I really don't get why Microsoft decided to make it so difficult to do so...
