Computer not booting confirmed working USB
Tacotardis42:
I sincerely apologize for any misconception that occurred, I was completely unaware of it. Hiren's boot cd is a useful rescue disk that can help fix your computer if you get a virus and are unable to boot, and I figured it would be a useful tool to have because I like things like that. And again, I apologize for any misunderstandings.

It would have been helpful if we had known what the bootable stick was for as we assumed it was an OS boot USB, but it should still have been able to read it in Windows - I'd reformat the stick to FAT32 and recreate it.
NTFS is better for Windows but some media players can have problems with it, so FAT32 which is the default format for USB sticks may be better.

Hi, if you run those things on running windows, it will spoil the whole thing. These are to be tried only on emergency purposes. If you run on open windows, then it will kill the boot process and the machine would fail to boot.
The tools should be handled carefully. For that purpose, there are available rescue disk option in free av programs like avast, panda etc.

Boggin: I've already done all of that 0_o, should I try recreating it with a different program like Jethro suggested?
jraju: Don't worry :cheesy: I'll use it correctly!
Boggin:
Well, you've got nothing to lose as it's at a dead end at the moment - which tool did you use to create it or does Hiren have its own burner ?
