Iso boot from usb

[Hardkill]

Trying to load windows 10 from a USB at startup onto a cleaned HD. I downloaded the iso from Microsoft and I formated and loaded the USB using Rufus. I get stuck on startup at "starting NTFS partition service" help please

Hi @Hardkill 

Welcome !

The message you posted shows that it is probably not booting from the USB with Windows.

I can see GRUB which is the Linux bootloader. Windows has nothing to do with GRUB.

Make sure you download the Windows 10 ISO and re-create your pendrive with Rufus.

- ensure that you select GPT partition scheme (not MBR)

- ensure that you have selected NTFS as file system

When ready, plug in the pendrive to the PC (which the PC is turned off).

Watch this video >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSN0qzXayUY

Start the computer by pressing the power-on button once.

Immediately begin hitting the Esc button repeatedly (like tap-tap-tap) until you see the HP Start up menu appear

Once it is there, select/press F9 to open the Boot menu

Using the keyboard, select/highlight your pendrive with Windows and hit ENTER

Another video as an example >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c29f91dLLY

If all is good with the pendrive and bootable mode, it will boot to the Windows installation screen.

Hope this helps.

I did just as stated and received the same results.  Tried to clean the pen drive with diskpart and reloaded the iso using Rufus and received the same result again with the message about grub 2.0

Well, it's either not booting from the flash drive, or it tries to boot from it but the drive is not ok.

Could you re-read again my instructions and ensure you follow the steps during the boot process (Esc/F9) ?

Please, use your camera or smartphone and create a video showing exactly what you do and what happens with regards to booting from the drive. Upload that video on your cloud drive or some popular file sharing service (e.g. wetransfer). Thanks
