Hi guys,

 

A friend has given me his computer to fix because it's no longer booting. I tried Windows restore and that gave an error so I am trying to boot a Windows 10 ISO from a USB key. The thing is, when I tell the computer to boot from a USB key I see the following:

So it seems that regardless of me telling the computer to boot from a USB it is looking for a network connection. Once that times out, it restarts and tries to boot from the HDD again.

 

The computer is a Lenovo, if that helps any. I've checked the settings in the BIOS and everything seems to be in order.

 

Any suggestions on what to try later this evening, other than throw it in the garden and stomp on it a few times? :laugh:

 

Cheers all!

The OP lost interest in the topic.  The "cures" are many.  Perhaps we need a FAQ on this problem.

(1) Is the USB DRIVE BOOTABLE, AT ALL?

(2) Is the BIOS setup correct, for the USB to boot first?

(3) When the USB was created, which program was used to create it?

(4) Bugs, virus, anti-malware protection used anywhere?

(5) Are the USB hardware ports working?

(6) ...  ??

      LG G5 was the last memorable phone I had. The Samsung and Pixels and have had since have been disappointing and boring.

      Isn't the CPU used to calculate the parity for the RAID? If so, the combination of SSDs and 10GBe might make the CPU more important

      yeah GSMA began working to enable end to end encryption between android and iphone last year and apparently a new standard was developed. apple has said that they would implement this in "future software updates" but i haven't heard anything since march, the time this was all reported on. shortly after, i read on forbes that the FBI suggests not sending texts between iphone and android because they're unencrypted. i use signal to chat with my wife but i'd rather just use messages tbh (she has an iphone), i'm not really a 3rd party guy haha
