#BOOTABLE USB NOT DETECTED IN BIOS WINDOWS 10#

When using Rufus to create W10 you will need to choose, MBR for the file system and BIOS or UEFI (non-csm) for the target system in order for the GRUB boot loader to detect Windows. Another option, after you backup your files, is to put Porteus on the flash drive, it supports booting on UEFI systems. Select boot from USB in bootable order under system Bios. Ubuntu and W10 can not dual boot when UEFI is enabled because of signed private key use which Rufus doesn't support. If you want to boot the drive on a UEFI machine, to a Linux system, the easiest approach, after you backup your files, is to download a utility named Easy2Boot and use to make the flash drive bootable and put a Linux system on it. If you want the files on it you need to find a non-UEFI machine, boot the Linux system and copy all the files to the machineвЂ™s hard drive, reformat the flash drive to a format Windows supports, then copy the files from the hard drive back to the flash drive. So, the question is, what do you want to do with the drive. Windows might not start properly for a lot of reasons, but the most common ones include the following: Corrupted or missing boot files on your startup drive.

Obviously your flash drive doesnвЂ™t have one of those formats, and since you say it has a Linux system on it it is probably formatted in a Linux ext format. Reading a USB drive on a UEFI system simply requires it be in a format Windows recognizes ie FAT, exFAT or NTFS.

Well, booting on UEFI systems requires the drive be formatted with UEFI support which obviously yourвЂ™s wasnвЂ™t. Only Windows Boot Manager is available in your PC boot menu while trying to reinstall Windows 7 over your preloaded Windows 10 or Windows 8/8.
