I face ongoing issues with this outdated computer that repeatedly restarts into F1 setup mode, then attempts to boot from USB with Windows. It displays a black screen and reports no signal. I've tried fixing the CMOS, reinstalling it, and replacing the motherboard, but the problem persists. I recently used an older A6 AMD PC with Windows 10 on an HDD on another system that ran smoothly, which helped me understand the issue. Q1: Can I install Windows on my HDD and use it on a 3200G drive? Q2: Are there any ways to resolve the no signal detected error? (I also replaced the CPU and rebuilt it completely.)
You're welcome, just avoid installing any drivers. Many motherboards let you pick a temporary boot device at startup, check the on-screen message or follow the guide. Did you store the boot settings or installation media? How did you prepare the Windows installation drive?
I resolved the boot sequence and stored it. I misplaced it, but it was similar to a YouTube installation guide for a known creator. It should work similarly for others' videos.
You can definitely set it up locally on Windows without an internet connection, just install it and shut it down before connecting the external drive to another PC.
Probably. We’re using a computer to operate a specific printer. The hard drive was from another machine. In 2018, Microsoft changed the system settings from 10 to 7 and wiped all data—classic Microsoft error. It claims it’s illegal and suggests an update, but we just overlook that and rely on Dukto to move files for printing from other devices.
Certainly, it’s a bit convoluted. Have you stored the device using a command at the end of your BIOS setup or a specific key mentioned in the video?
