1. Create A Usb Boot Disk
2. Create Windows Boot Disk Usb

My hard drive randomly decided to stop booting my windows os so I downloaded a windows 8.1 ISO and installed it to my USB using Unetbootin. In my BIOS, launch csm is disabled as well as fast boot. My USB is formatted to fat32 with the unetbootin program.What happens is when I try to boot from my USB, the windows flag will pop up with the spinning icon below it, and then a black screen forever.I don't know how this screwed up so bad at this point.

If you have an ISO: Select 'Diskimage' and navigate to your ISO file and click 'Open'. Connected your USB stick with a minimum 2GB of free space, Click 'OK'. Once this process is complete you will you have a bootable Live USB. Thank you for reading this article.

Create Windows Boot Disk Usb

I have Ubuntu installed and I can still use that, but I'd like to get windows back if possible. On some BIOSes programs like Rufus and UnetBootin, which extract the image and use their own Syslinux or grub-like boot systems, refuse to work. I have had this problem many times on some older computers.A process that works for me a large portion of the time, (And is my perfered method) is to write the image directly to the device.WARNING: This process will destroy your data on the drive, and wipe any installed partition tables. To restore your drive to full working order, you might have to use gParted or another partition system.
