• Windows Media Tool 10 For Usb On Machines
• Reinstall Windows 10 Media Creation Tool
• Where Is The Socket For Usb On Mac

The most weird thing is happening to me:I have a hp notebook which has no internal DVD drive, so I installed via an external USB LG Blueray burner.

1. First I installed Windows 10 customer preview into one partition.
2. Then I installed Windows 8 into another partition.

Choose your Windows 10 ISO image and USB Drive. Select the ISO file and Destination Disk to Make a bootable USB on Mac. Browse and select the Windows 10 ISO file you had downloaded earlier. Be sure to select your USB drive in the Destination Disk. Click continue to create Windows 10 bootable USB on Mac OS. Copy the Image Files to Disk. Windows 10 Bootable USB created on Mac. BCA formats the USB and all previous data will be lost from the USB. Click Continue.

1. Hi, Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated. I understand that you have activation issues when you put the Windows 10 on a USB using the media creation tool.
2. Download Official Windows 10 ISO via USB & DVD Media Creation Tool (Without Product Key). To use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, follow these steps (this tutorial focuses on downloading ISO and creating DVD or USB media for Windows 10). LK is a technology writer for Tech Journey with background of system and network administrator.

All works fine. I have dual boot computer where I can test my software on Windows 8 and 10.

The computer has the following partitions:

1. Recovery partition (300 MB)
2. EFI System partition (100 MB)
3. Data partition (400 GB)
4. Windows 8 (40 GB)
5. Window 10 preview (40 GB)

I repeat: All works fine. Neither the installation of Windows 8 nor 10 preview produced any problem.

Now comes the most weird thing that I have seen: As the final Windows 10 is out now, I wanted to replace the Windows 10 preview with the final Windows 10.

I boot the installation DVD, after a while comes the screen where I can select the language.Then comes a screen with a button in the center that says 'Install Now' and then comes a message 'Setup is starting'.

Up to here all fine. But then comes a strange error:

A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD,USB or hard disk driver. If you have CD, DVD or USB flash drive on it, please insert it now.

Note: If the installation media for Windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step.

First: this error is not understandable.Second: It does not make any sense. When setup was already running up to here this means that it CAN read the DVD. So what driver should be missing?

Some people reported similar problems with Windows 7 where the cause was that it did not boot from a USB 3.0 port. But this cannot be the culprit because

1. Windows 10 does not have this limitation anymore.
2. I tried all the 3 existing USB ports and all result in the same error.
3. I installed the Windows 10 preview with the same Blueray burner on the same notebook. Why does the preview find the driver and the final not?

I came to the conclusion that this is -once more- a wrong error message. The cause must be elsewhere.

Then I made a very interesting test:

I booted from the same Windows 10 preview DVD that I installed a month ago.And voilá: It also does not boot anymore. But it gives another error:

On a black screen it tells me

CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR

Missing OS

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. Snipping tool for mac word download.

How is it possible that the SAME DVD, that I installed successfully one month ago, now throws an error ?

Then I made a third test:I booted from the same Windows 8 DVD that I installed before. And this is the only DVD of the 3 DVDs where I get up to the menu which allows me to select the parition into which I want to install.

Summary:

1. Win 10 final DVD fails with one error
2. Win 10 preview DVD fails with another error, although it worked before!
3. Win 8 DVD runs correctly

It is clear that this is

1. Not a hardware problem: same notebook, same blueray burner, both Windows still run perfectly.
2. No driver is missing because both Windows were installed without problems before.
3. The DVDs are not burned wrongly, they worked before.

For me the only explanation is that the installation of Windows 8, which I installed after Windows 10 preview, destroyed anything on that computer.

Nevertheless both OS still run without problem, it is only the installation which is blocked.

But what has happened?Are there any diagnose tools?Has anybody seen such a strange thing before?Does anybody know a workaround (except deleting all partitions and starting from zero)?

Finally I solved the problem.

The cause of the error 'A media driver your computer needs is missing' may be that the ISO image is corrupt. I did not expect that because I downloaded the entire 4 GB image directly from Microsoft without any error fromhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

As Microsoft does not provide a hash you cannot verify the downloaded file.

After downloading the image from another place:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench it worked.

ADDITION:Now I use a newer version of Firefox (43) which always shows an error if the download (first link above) was not successful. The Microsoft link for ISO download is garbage. I tried several times to download the ISO file (4 GB) and Firefox told me once that 13 MB were missing and the next time that 430 MB were missing. The Microsoft Server aborts the transmission shortly before you have downloaded the ISO file completely. So you MUST use the Media creation tool to download Windows 10! This tool requires at least Windows 7. Forget it to download Windows 10 with any other operating system than Windows 7 or 8. It is really a SHAME that Microsoft is not able to provide a download of an ISO file!

Another solution may be to copy the Windows ISO to an USB stick when you get this error message. You can use Rufus for that. It may solve this error in the case that the cause is a problem with your DVD/Blueray drive. Not all drives support UEFI.

In my case, the A media driver your computer needs is missing error was caused by incorrectly flashed .iso image on the USB flash drive.

The incorrectly flashed image, which booted just fine but later gave the error showed up as a single line in the boot menu, looking like this:

While the correctly flashed image showed up as two separate partitions, looking like this:

The image was incorrectly flashed using Linux Mint 19, with both the default USB Image Writer and WoeUSB, both with default settings.

It was correctly flashed with Rufus on Windows 10, also using the default settings.

Download icloud remover 1.0.2 tool (full bypass package) for mac. Downloading this tool is free of cost. ICloud Bypass Tool is supported on these iOS versions iOS 7, iOS 7.1, iOS 8, iOS 9. It is compatible with almost every Apple device. Also, using this tool is quite simple.

With the correctly flashed image, I booted from the first of the two partitions, and the install completed without any issues. This was on an AMD Ryzen 1700 370X-PRO board running in UEFI mode with disabled Compatibility Support Module (CSM).

Google led me here - I had this issue trying to install Server 2016 on VMware ESX.

In my case it was actually a driver issue - I added another CD-ROM device and connected it to the latest vmware Tools ISO, then when faced with the error, I browsed the VMware Tools ISO for the PVScsi driver and then the hard disk was detected by the Windows installation.

Windows Media Tool 10 For Usb On Machines

The only solution that worked for me was enabling the option 'check device for bad blocks [1 pass]' in the programme Rufus, which I used to make the bootable U. S. B. drive to install Windows (using the Windows I. S. O. from Microsoft.com). For instruction on how to make an installation drive using Rufus, see here.

Reinstall Windows 10 Media Creation Tool

The first time I installed Windows 10 on my new computer, that is how I did it, and it worked fine. When I wanted to reinstall Windows later, I remade the bootable drive, but without setting the above option, because it takes a very long time. Then Windows installation on the new computer complained about the missing media driver every time I tried to install it. I even redownloaded the Windows I. S. O. from Microsoft and created the bootable drive again and again, but to no avail. Changing U. S. B. ports didn't help either. Then I created the drive again with the above option enabled, and it worked fine.

Note that the thumb drive I used was very new, so I doubt whether it truly had any 'bad blocks'. I don't know what Rufus did, but apparently the checking fixes something. Note also that I never tried creating the bootable drive using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, because I was using Windows XP, on which it would not run; so perhaps that would have solved my problem as well, had I been able to try it.

Creating a USB thumb drive loaded with Windows 10 installation media is very easy thanks to Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool. With a prepared USB drive you can install the latest version of Windows on a new PC or have an install drive at the ready should your current rig start to malfunction.

If you’ve never used the Media Creation Tool, however, even this simple process might be a little overwhelming. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a Windows 10 USB drive with the Media Creation Tool.

The first thing you need to do is go to Microsoft’s dedicated website for Windows 10 downloads, and click Download tool now to grab the Media Creation Tool. Now would also be a good time to insert the USB drive you want to use as your installation media. It needs to be at least 5GB in size (you'll see '4GB' in the tool, but Microsoft confirmed the larger number), and make sure you know which drive letter it’s been assigned (D, E, F, etc.) once you plug it in.

Once the tool is downloaded, double-click the MediaCreationTool.exe file to launch it. After clicking through the licensing agreement, you’ll have the option either to upgrade your current PC or create installation media. We want the latter, so select the radio button labeled Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC and click Next.

By default, the Media Creation Tool will download the same version of Windows that’s on the PC you’re currently using. If that’s fine, click Next.

If you need to change anything such as the default language, edition of Windows 10 (Home or Pro), or the architecture (32- or 64-bit), deselect the check box labeled Use the recommended options for this PC. The change most users will likely need to make is to the architecture. If you try to upgrade a 32-bit PC with a 64-bit version of Windows, for example, it won’t work. Once you’ve made the necessary changes, click Next.

Now you have to decide whether you want to create installation media or just download an ISO file. We want to create a USB flash drive, so select that radio button and click Next.

On the next screen, you’ll be prompted to choose the USB drive you want to use. Make sure you know the correct drive letter as mentioned earlier. Select it so it’s highlighted (the “D” drive is selected in the case pictured here), and click Next.

Now the Media Creation Tool will begin downloading Windows 10 to your PC. Once it’s downloaded the tool will then put Windows 10 on the USB drive. After that’s done, your drive will be ready. Next click Finish, let the tool clean up, and unplug your USB drive.
