Hi William, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. • Where are you downloading Windows 10 from (the link)? I would suggest you to check if there is any file in the USB flash drive because it has be to be empty and minimum space of 4GB. If there is any file in it, I would suggest you to save it and then format it. Start downloading the tool first and once downloaded, right click the tool and Run as Administrator. Kindly refer to: Let us know the result, we'll be happy to assist you further. Regards, Niranjan Manjhi.

I had the same problem, I did everything, swapped out the USB drive (8GB completly fresh), formatted it to FAT32, exFAT and NTSF and nothing worked. Windows 7 Pro N SP1. I have tried 2 different 16GB USB flash drives. I have formatted and tried multiple times.

I have run the tool directly to the USB, I have tried converting the ISO file to a USB, nothing works. I get error messages like this:'There was a problem running this tool. We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC.

If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support. Error code: 0x80070005 - 0xA0019 What do I do? What is going on? I need to install Windows 10 on a laptop with no dvd drive. I want to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive for x64.

Recently I was putting together a new Windows USB Install disk (if you are not familiar with the process for doing this – here is a good article: ). I really wanted to use virtual machines to test the disk as I was putting together (I am using unattended installation files and various scripts) however you cannot boot a Hyper-V virtual machine off of a USB key. So what could I do? The answer is surprisingly simple. If you setup a virtual hard disk in exactly the same way that you do a USB install disk – you can use it to install Windows. The process that I followed was to: • Create a 32GB dynamic VHDX file using Hyper-V • Mount the VHDX file in the host operating system – and then use DISKPART to create a FAT32 partition on it (that is marked as active), as discussed in the article above • Copy in the Windows install files (and my custom scripts and tweaks) • Create a virtual machine with this 32GB VHDX as the first hard disk, and a blank VHDX as the second hard disk • Boot the virtual machine and install the operating system This allowed me to quickly and easily test my install scripts. Once I had everything working the way I wanted – I just had to copy my files to a physical USB key and go.

Thanks for your blog Ben, it helped me in the right direction. However, while this is the first time I create a virtual machine on a Windows 10 client, I “accidentally” managed to do the above even easier, so I figured I should share that here as well: 1. First I created a virtual machine with one empty virtual disk, on which I wanted to install Windows 10. I then inserted my USB with Windows 10 boot media into my physical client (the host).

After booting the virtual machine, I realized I can’t boot from the USB. That’s when I started to Google for a solution and found your post. How To Install Afc2add With Ifunbox Classic.

I turned off my virtual machine, after which I moved my empty virtual disk from location 0 to location 1 (for IDE controller 0). I currently don’t know if this was necessary, but I did it. I then started to create a new virtual disk as you described in your post.

However, in the add-new-virtual-disk-dialog I got an option to copy files from any of my physical disks, and since the USB drive was still plugged into the physical machine I could easy select that as source for the copy and let Hyper-V do the rest. That is, no need for task 2 and 3 from your list above. When the virtual disk was created/copied, I started the virtual machine, and the Windows 10 installation program started right away without any further input from my side. I hope this helps someone else. Thanks again for your post.
