10 installation issues encountered
I recently installed a new computer and have faced difficulties setting up Windows 10 via USB. The first attempt failed due to an outdated BIOS setting. After updating the BIOS, the installation still encountered issues—now I see only a Windows logo and a loading circle without progress. After about ten minutes, the screen goes black. I’ve waited over an hour and 30 minutes. What should I do next? Should I revert to the original BIOS version? Or should I remain at the black screen and try further troubleshooting? I also noted my motherboard is a Gigabyte B450 DS3H and that I upgraded from F4 to F32, then F40, following Gigabyte’s instructions. Additionally, I experimented with copying the USB drive to another partition using the command prompt, but it was unstable.
It's a USB 3.0 device, but you might want to check if a USB 2.0 is compatible with your setup.
It seems Windows couldn't create a partition on Disk 0, which might indicate an issue with your hard drive.
Your RAM seems fine and the hard drive is brand new, so consider other possibilities. Have you tried running a system check or updating drivers?
Disconnect all additional hard drives except the one you wish to run Windows on Go. Enter BIOS and enable Disabled Boot, then set CSM to Disabled. Power on the USB until the Welcome screen appears. Press Shift + F12, type "Diskpart," press Enter. Select Disk 0, then Enter. Choose "Clean" and press Enter again. Select "Convert MBR," press Enter, then Exit. Close the command prompt. Continue with Setup as usual. This should enable proper partitioning. After installation, turn off the system and reconnect any other drives.
