I got the error code 0xc0000001, so I wanted to try to reinstall windows 10 on my computer via usb through BIOS, I've tried using default settings, I've tried turning off fast boot and secure boot but I keep getting loading screen with windows logo, then just black screen. When I try boot up normally without usb I get either the same error code or it non stops loading.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Hi, Joel, I am Jeronimo, Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    The error code 0xc0000001 often indicates a system boot failure caused by corrupt or missing files, or hardware issues. If you're experiencing persistent issues when trying to reinstall Windows 10 via USB, please try this:

    1.- Ensure your USB drive was created correctly. Use reliable tools like, Microsoft Media Creation Tool

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    in that site you can find the tools to create a bootable usb for the installation.

    2.- Ensure the USB is formatted as FAT32 for UEFI systems or NTFS for older BIOS systems, and that it works correctly to boot in a different PC

    3.- Recreate the bootable USB in case it is corrupt.

    After this, please confirm that you have the proper BIOS settings

    1.- Ensure the USB drive is set as the first boot option in the BIOS/UEFI.

    2.- Go to BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot if you haven’t already.

    3.- Enable UEFI (if applicable): Modern systems often require UEFI mode instead of Legacy/CSM.
