Problem with Boot and Windows Installation Issues
Problem with Boot and Windows Installation Issues
Almost three weeks have passed and I still face another significant issue. To resolve it, I upgraded to a lower-end CPU to boot into the BIOS of the B350M Bazooka motherboard. Initially, I had an AMD Ryzen 5 5100X series CPU, but it wasn’t supported, so I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X instead. I was able to install Windows on a flash drive without any problems, and after completing the setup, it booted directly from the flash. However, I encountered a problem when I tried to access the laptop—Windows reported a hard drive failure, and all banking data was missing. A QR code appeared for Dell support, indicating that everything important is stored there. Please assist me.
Did you rely on the flash drive with your financial records and vital data?
It seems like the issue was removing Windows, which might explain why it keeps displaying "drive has failed to boot."
