Boot loop

[lunar vapor]

My pc had corrupted files so they wouldn’t let me wipe or anything so I plugged in a Media tool windows wiped all the dryers downloaded windows on the drive and it would just boot loop when I leave the USP it would say window install if I take it out, it would say reboot an instant proper boot device. Have tried everything on my head and also was on the call with tech 2 Microsoft support.

I would try to get the windows installation via an ISO on Microsoft’s website if you haven’t already, haven’t heard much reliability coming from their media creation tool.
Once you have the ISO, use a tool such as Rufus to put the ISO onto a USB flash drive, making sure you are using the GPT file system.
Try it out from there

[lunar vapor]

I did that

I have the aorus gigabyte b650 elite ax Ice

I did also update my bios

Also switched to Intel to AMD

[north panther]

Are we sure this is from the windows boot device? It’s trying to find something off your network efi

[lunar vapor]

Also it says Intel and I have AMD

[proper fractal]

are you still online?..

ping me..when you are online again...

[lunar vapor]

Yes

@proper fractal

Just change legacy to uefi and other way around and nothing

[proper fractal]

how did you prepare this..usb?..using which app?

[lunar vapor]

I used my brother Microsoft surface formatted the usb used windows media tool did the install windows

[proper fractal]

your bios supports both uefi and legacy mode...thats the cause of the issue...

completely ..disable.. CSM (legacy mode).. and stick to uefi only..

screenshot the boot order...

[lunar vapor]

If I disable csm then I don’t have legacy or uefi

[proper fractal]

dont worry...those settings do not affect...the UEFI mode..

[lunar vapor]

This is when csm disabled

So keep it on or off

[proper fractal]

disable CSM...

[lunar vapor]

Ok it’s off

[proper fractal]

save bios settings...and restart..and boot back to bios..and screenshot boot order..

[lunar vapor]

I don’t get a boot order if it’s disable

But the drive is shown in peripherals

[proper fractal]

were you able to install...windows?

[lunar vapor]

What do you mean

When I have the usb drive I can install

[proper fractal]

boot into usb...and screenshot partitions step

[lunar vapor]

This is what’s in the drive when I install it

Idk what’s boot x

[proper fractal]

screenshot the drives...

[lunar vapor]

All the same drive

[proper fractal]

this is old or new screesnshot?..

[lunar vapor]

Now

[proper fractal]

delete all partitions... then open cmd...type diskpart...

[lunar vapor]

Disk one is the usb

[proper fractal]

disk 2.. i assume.. type sel disk 2.. then type clean

[proper fractal]

type convert gpt... and check what you see?..

[proper fractal]

exit cmd... click.. "refresh".. then click new..

[lunar vapor]

Click ok right

[proper fractal]

yep!

then show me..again..

[lunar vapor]

And u want csm disable or enable

[proper fractal]

i thought i told you to disable cSM?..

[lunar vapor]

I pretty sure it is

Should I click next and download

[proper fractal]

proceed...with next...

[lunar vapor]

Also should I take out usb when screen turn black

[proper fractal]

and if it doesnt boot... then screenshot boot order in bios..

[lunar vapor]

?

No or yes

[proper fractal]

keep the usb...for now

[lunar vapor]

Ok

Boots to install windows

[proper fractal]

after restart?..

[lunar vapor]

Yes

[proper fractal]

@lunar vapor

[lunar vapor]

So go into bios now

[proper fractal]

press enter..on boot option 1..and screenshot...

[lunar vapor]

Just the usb and disable

[proper fractal]

how many drives... connected right now?

[lunar vapor]

One

But I have 2 other ssd both 3.5

One of your not counting the usb

[proper fractal]

they are disconnected...right now?

[lunar vapor]

Yes

[proper fractal]

switch to easy mode..and check if the drive is detected...

[lunar vapor]

Yes

[proper fractal]

then boot to usb...and we will try to make a manual efi partition...

[proper fractal]

and somehow...try to make the bios...recognize the boot partition...

[lunar vapor]

Do I go to repair mode?

Or cmd

[proper fractal]

open cmd... and diskpart...

[lunar vapor]

Ok what’s next

[proper fractal]

sel disk 2 again..

2 TB

then type ..list part..

[lunar vapor]

Yup

[proper fractal]

type.. sel part 1

then type.. del part override

[lunar vapor]

Ok did it

[proper fractal]

type sel disk 2 again...then type... create partition efi

[proper fractal]

type.. list vol

[lunar vapor]

Should it be drive 1

[proper fractal]

sel vol 2.. then type format fs=fat32... then type assign letter=K

[proper fractal]

type exit.. then type
bcdboot D:\Windows /s K: /f UEFI

[lunar vapor]

My slash is other way

Also is there a space on bcdboot and D?

[proper fractal]

there is space ...yep!

[lunar vapor]

My slash

[proper fractal]

your keyboard...should have both slashes..

[lunar vapor]

Where the other one at

[proper fractal]

look again....

[lunar vapor]

Left or right side

Found it

Is the windows and / is space or no

[proper fractal]

space before /s ... and same for /f

[lunar vapor]

Is this what should show

Or wrong

[proper fractal]

screenshot

[proper fractal]

kindly dont press enter...screenshot before you execute command

[lunar vapor]

Ok

[proper fractal]

K: (space) /f

[proper fractal]

enter

[lunar vapor]

Sincerely created

[proper fractal]

now..restart...and boot into bios..check if any boot device detected

[lunar vapor]

Nope

[proper fractal]

there can be one of the possibilities...
your bios settings are messed up...
your drive is corrupted...
your usb drive is corrupted....

[lunar vapor]

What should I do

[proper fractal]

is there a storage section?..

in the bios?

advanced mode?

[proper fractal]

there is only one..option left...

to try

[lunar vapor]

Ok

[proper fractal]

boot into USB...and wipe the drive again... then open CMD and use diskpart to make 9 GB ntfs primary partition..

[lunar vapor]

Wipe is delete right

[proper fractal]

yep!

[lunar vapor]

Ok

Don’t change anything in bios right

Leave cmd off

[proper fractal]

leave bios ..

[lunar vapor]

Ok

Don’t click new right

What should I do in cmd

[proper fractal]

open diskpart..

sel disk 2

[lunar vapor]

Nvm I got it

What’s next

[proper fractal]

type .... create partition primary size=10000

[lunar vapor]

Done

[proper fractal]

type ..list part..then select 10GB partition.. type assign letter=K... then type... format fs=NTFS quick

[proper fractal]

@lunar vapor

[lunar vapor]

So sel disk 1

Right

?

[proper fractal]

no.. sel part 1

[proper fractal]

list vol

[proper fractal]

type exit... then type xcopy C: K: /e /h /k

[lunar vapor]

Like this?

[proper fractal]

space before.. all of them

[proper fractal]

enter

[proper fractal]

wait till it finishes...

[lunar vapor]

Ok

All done

[proper fractal]

shut down your pc...unplug the usb... and start your pc...without usb plugged in

[lunar vapor]

Yes have a 3.5 wd blue and a 3.5 60gb

Blue is 1tb

[proper fractal]

wdym 3.5 60 GB?..

[lunar vapor]

At sata 60gb ssd

[proper fractal]

any drive..that is empty...and you can install windows for testing?..

[lunar vapor]

They both wiped

[proper fractal]

try wd blue.. HDD..

[lunar vapor]

It’s sad

Ssd

Nvm done

Boots to windows install

Should I go to bios

[proper fractal]

again?..

[lunar vapor]

Ya

When I take out USB it goes to reboot proper boot drive

Device

[proper fractal]

wdym?..

[lunar vapor]

I’m drop it off to my god father and see if he can fix it

[proper fractal]

if both drives having the same issue...then it must be the bios

did you test with CSM enabled?..

[lunar vapor]

No

Yes

I did

[proper fractal]

either usb or bios issue...

[proper fractal]

@lunar vapor let me know what you have tried later...on...

You can recreate the bootable usb...

[lunar vapor]

I just exchanged everything and same problem made a new usb device and nothing

@proper fractal

[proper fractal]

I will check...online.. If this board..has any issue or complaints

[proper fractal]

@lunar vapor were you able to get this working?...
