#Unetbootin windows 8.1 usb install

I'm not sure if that fact provides any insight to you about what my system is like, but it's the closest thing I've ever done to using a "USB 3.0 port to reinstall their OS with the recovery media".Īnd having this problem with booting from USB 3.0 media I'm concerned about whether I'll be able to boot at all from my USB 3.0 external hard-drive when in a few weeks time I try a proper install of linux (rather than just running from live unetbootin USB sticks as I presently am).

#Unetbootin windows 8.1 usb windows

I've never tried booting windows from USB media but when I've gone into the recovery environment to restore from system images they were detected whether they were on USb 3.0 or 2.0 media and whichever USb port they plugged into.

#Unetbootin windows 8.1 usb windows 8

Yes it had windows 8 on when new, and I know that normally windows 8 wouldn't be on a pre-UEFI pre-secureboot system but in my case it seems to be. The system is quite old, this isn't that HP machine I bought in 2015, this is the toshiba machine from 2013 ish, and it uses BIOS not UEFI (as far as I can tell) and certainly doesn't have secure boot.

3.7, System BIOS Version 6.20, EC version 6.00 ".

My BIOS type calls itself on the BIOS scren "InsydeH20 Setup Utility, Rev. This is a BIOS based system, not UEFI, atleast within windows msinfo32 tells me that I'm using BIOS not UEFI. In general I avoid plugging in USB sticks whilst logged into windows once linux is written to them because I know that if windows tries to "fix" them it will probably make them unbootable, but I plugged them in like that after having failed to boot because I thought I ought to take a look at them and see if anything seemed different between them and the USB 2.0 sticks which boot fine. I only did this, plug the USB in whilst already logged into windows after having failed to boot from them, so it wasn't that windows somehow messed them up so they couldn't boot, it was they were somehow unable to boot from the moment of being written.

I also notice that when I've written linux to USB 2.0 sticks with unetbootin and plugged them in while booted in windows, windows thinks them to be faulty sticks and offers to fix them (I ofcourse decline the offer), when I plug in USB 3.0 sticks with linux on them windows sees them as normal USB sticks full of files, when I browsed them I saw them full of various files of the linux operating system. I have tested booting attempts with both USb 3.0 and 2.0 sticks from each port, which port I use doesn't matter, it's whether the sticks are 2.0 or 3.0 that controls whether they boot. I have three ports on my machine, two of them 3.0, one of them 2.0. When I wrote linux to USB 2.0 sticks they booted whether placed in USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports. When I wrote linux mint to USB 3.0 sticks with unetbootin they would not boot whether placed in USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports. Has anyone had these sort of problems before? I'll try making another live USB on a USB 2.0 stick later, it might work, if it does I'll know the problem is with the USB 3.0 drives, if it doesn't I'll know something has changed within windows such that unetbootin can no longer properly create a live USB when it is run.

It's not my BIOS at fault here, my older linux live USB still boots fine, but neither of the ones I just tried to make will boot. I then tried to boot from it, same problem, it was plugged in, I restarted the system, but it booted straight to windows. I tried again with another USb 3.0 stick (a sandisk 16GB Cruzer force), this took much longer to write (about the same time as USB 2.0 sticks took when I've made them).

I then rebooted but the BIOS clearly didn't detect the USB and booted straight into windows. With one of the USBs I used (a sandisk 32GB USB 3.0 Ultra) unetbootin was really fast to write it's stuff to the drive. The only thing different to before was that the USB I was using was a USB 3.0 device, a good quality one, previously I used dirt cheap USB 2.0 one for making live USBs.

#Unetbootin windows 8.1 usb iso

Used the linux mint iso file I have saved on my computer(Linux mint MATE 17.3 64 bit), gave the USB I was making the same amount of persistence as I have before and clicked through unetbootin's steps. Ok, just tried to make another live linux drive using Unetbootin, did it just the same way I have previously.
