Hi, I see you’ve updated your SSD to GPT and made a bootable USB with the Windows 11 ISO. When copying files, the system reports an error saying a required device isn’t connected or accessible. You’ve reformatted and reinstalled Windows multiple times, but the drive still doesn’t show up in the boot menu after copying. It seems like something minor might have been missed. Let me know if you need further assistance.

You're unsure about the process, but there are some common issues. Usually you shouldn't transfer files from USB to SSD directly—installers handle it for you. Try disabling antivirus temporarily, as it might block writing to the boot header on your device. Run the installer to generate a media. Download AHCI drivers if required for your mainboard and save them. Extract the files to a folder, then copy that folder to your USB drive. Configure your mainboard for UEFI only support, enabling Secure Boot TPM 2.0 and ensuring AHCI is set for M.2 slots. Physically remove any other connected disks. When you boot, choose the UEFI image on the USB and begin installation. If the drive isn't recognized, press load the driver and select the previously downloaded folder. If partitions exist, clear them to leave only unpartitioned space, then proceed with the install. Once finished, remove the USB and reboot.

I also used Rufus but the problem remains unresolved.

I notice the drive partition during startup when using the USB. After copying it to the SSD and restarting, it fails to recognize the drive. I'm considering installing Windows 10 directly and upgrading later if needed.

I determined it, secure boot wasn't turned on by default in the Asus BIOS.

It’s now working with Windows 11, but my dual boot remains set up. When the system restarts or shuts down, the same error Oxc000000e appears. I need to enter BIOS and exit to reach the dual boot menu, then boot into Windows 11. Any advice on this problem? I’ll try turning off fast boot. Edit: Disabling fast boot fixed the dual boot issue.
