Need to install windows 7 from external
Hey,
I'm trying to install windows seven via an external drive. What I've done so far:
Created partition of 5.5gb on drive, formatted as FAT32
Used PowerISO to extract all the files to the partition
followed the steps for booting with a UEFI system
plugged in external into desktop
open boot menu, it displays my external with UEFI: infront of the name
Boot from it
And then I get an error
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
I'm not sure what to do here. The hard drive I'm trying to install to is empty, there isn't an OS on it.
