I needed to perform a system restore because of driver problems. After that, my computer became stuck in a boot loop. Without a second machine or a USB drive, I brought it to a technician who simply wiped the files from my SSD and installed Windows on my HDD. This was surprising given how basic the process seemed. A few days later, I used a friend's computer and a USB stick to reinstall Windows properly. I created a bootable drive using Windows Media and navigated through BIOS, selecting the USB stick before exiting. Everything seems to be working now. During installation, I removed the drivers and chose my SSD for the setup. After a short wait, the message appeared asking if the system detected any bootable devices. I repeated the process several times, but nothing changed. I considered leaving the USB in and selecting the SSD in BIOS, but it still wouldn’t show up. I attempted to reinstall or update the BIOS, but results remained the same. I experimented with different UEFI and Legacy settings, disabled fast boot and secure boot, tried all USB ports—still nothing connected. My laptop is a 5-month-old ASUS Rog Scar II with a 256GB NVMe SSD, an i7-8750 processor, 32GB RAM (upgraded from 16GB), and a GTX 1060 graphics card.
Select the UEFI setting for the memory stick by tapping on it. If unsuccessful, explore other USB stick choices in the BIOS and click on them instead.
Set up Windows installation, restart the system, then navigate to BIOS/UEFI settings and disconnect the pen at that point.
Additionally, I attempted that method too. After doing so, I ended up without any bootable drives and it immediately returned to the BIOS.
