Windows setup: missing installation disk location
Windows setup: missing installation disk location
Hey, you're facing a tricky setup issue. You've followed the usual steps—downloaded the ISO, used Rufus, and tried it on a FAT32 drive—but still getting errors about missing drivers. It seems the problem might be with how the drive is recognized or the system's ability to find necessary components. Since the SSD works fine elsewhere, maybe the issue lies in the boot configuration or driver setup for your specific hardware. You could also double-check that the correct firmware version is installed and ensure no conflicting drivers are present. If you're still stuck, consider using a different USB port or testing with another USB hub to rule out hardware conflicts.
Have you considered placing the drivers on the USB drive alongside the Windows installation media? This is usually the answer I've found when facing this problem.
I’ve faced the same problem too. I’ve looked into various fixes but nothing has helped. I checked all USB ports, installed Windows 10 to upgrade, used Balena, tried different boot drives, and more—I still can’t recall any other solution. I’ve been working on it for three days now.
It seems everything went wrong after setting up and deleting my bootable drive. Once I plugged in the new drive, Windows started functioning, but then froze again. It likely installed some part of Windows and depends on the drive for operation. I've tried fixing it multiple times, but now it's completely unresponsive. I'm planning to purchase a different SSD instead.
