    Failure to read install USB device


    I am running windows 10 pro. Version 21h2 19044.1766
    New laptop HP AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor 8gig RAM 256 GB SSD storage
    I created rescue media on a usb for Macrium Reflect. After reboot and getting to F9 I select the usb and the HP logo comes up but fails or stops no error msg. I tried the media on a pc same processor and it loads fime and comes up with macrium reflect.
    this new laptop has no cd/dvd so you have to use usb.
    also will not load install install media from a usb.
    only advice so far is to disable secure boot. and use Legacy?

    Hi there.

    Format the USB Flash Rescue Drive and re-create it again in Macrium Reflect.
    Use the Macrium Rescue Media Builder - Windows RE (wim).

    Look under Advanced and ensure that the Wi-Fi options are enabled and proceed to build.
    Once done successfully, see if it detects it in the Boot Selection screen.

    Post back and advise.

    Thanks.

    failure to read install usb device


    Compumind I am having trouble even trying to create the usb. says gpt is not supported. I formated the usb as the default
    this laptop is really flaky that is why I have it set up to send back but I don't want anything on it.
    sorry for now I will see what I can on the problem

    Hi.

    What USB Flash drive are you trying to use? Name, capacity?
    Generally, a 1 GB Flash will do just fine.

    Try this on the USB Flash first:

    Open an elevated command prompt.
    Then insert the unusable USB Flash Drive.

    Now enter these commands one at a time - go slow!

    Diskpart
    List disk
    Select Disk Number - (Make sure it's the USB Flash! Look at the capacity!) - i.e. Select disk 3
    Clean
    Convert mbr
    Create partition primary
    Format fs=exfat quick
    Assign
    Exit

    Check File Explorer - the USB Flash Drive should be present with partial or full capacity.
    If so, go into Macrium and try creating the Bootable Rescue Media.

    Post back, thanks.

    Are you now booted into the Macrium RE environment?
    If so, do you have an image to restore?

    I'm a bit confused.

    Good morning Compumind; Yes it did boot up to macrium rescue and I did locate my last image and folders backups. I did not go further as I did want to re install windows 10 clean to be sure that all worked. Do I need to follow the instructions you gave me to prepare a usb to be used for the media creation tool download? I usually just format and use the defaults fat32.

    Hi.

    You can reformat it if you like, (not required) then go into Macrium and the create the Windows RE Bootable Rescue Media to restore the image. Under Advanced select all Wi-Fi options.
    Make sure that you have backed up all data since the old one was created, onto another device for continued restoration.

    Post back and advise.

    Do you mean you installed your Macrium Backup Image?
