Solve : Invalid partition table booting W10 from USB? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello. My grandfather gave me his old XP computer to get it repaired. The Windows XP is stuck in a bootloop so I decided I should try and install W10 on it. I plugged my USB made with Media Creation Tool and when I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/boot-251147" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOOT">BOOT</a> from it I get ”Invalid partition table”. After watching some tutorials I found that is something <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/related-1183031" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RELATED">RELATED</a> to the UEFI or Legacy settings, but it doesn't seem the BIOS has these kind of settings. What can I do?<br/><br/>Also, this computer has a CD-ROM drive, so I tried replacing it vith a DVD-RW to try and boot from a DVD, but the drive is not recognised in the BIOS.<br/><br/>Someone suggested to try and scan the HDD for problems, so I burned Hutil on a CD but I again get "Invalid partition table". \The HDD is an IDE Samsung.<br/><br/>Thank you in advance for your help. I always had trouble with this older tech.If the computer was running windows XP what are the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/details-246356" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DETAILS">DETAILS</a> of the hardware. Also if it wasn't booting windows XP all of a sudden, then it has a hardware problem which you need to diagnose first before loading windows 10.<br/><br/>So can I have the hardware details ether a link to the model or a list of specs. Some pictures of the inside as it could have faulty motherboard capacitors.<br/><br/>Do you have any software to do the hardware diagnostic?<br/><br/>Perhaps download a iso of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/puppy-1172703" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PUPPY">PUPPY</a> linux which has memtest and may be an option instead of windows 10 to put on the computer. <a href="http://puppylinux.com/download.html">http://puppylinux.com/download.html</a>Running XP...Samsung HDD...it's <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/likely-537197" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIKELY">LIKELY</a> the HDD is dead.<br/>So if you wanna breath new life into it get a new drive...</p></body></html> | |
