ultimate99 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have Windows 8.1 Update1 and want to start fresh. It asks me for a media drive. What version of win 8 do i need on a usb drive? I think I have one with win 8 but it says it's invalid. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotenks98 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 this all depends on how you got windows installed. If you got it from a Manufacturer, there you need to follow their restore procedure. If you installed Windows 8.1 on your own then just use that disc. If you only installed 8.0 and used the store to update to 8.1 then you might have a problem. For this you will have to force it to use that refresh and it will restore to that version. Small edit, you will need to move the install.wim file from the sources folder of the media to something else. From there you will need to use the reagentc command to make that the recovery image.
