Boot Drive/System 32

Question

Hello Everyone,

I'm Reinstalling Windows 10 to my Custom PC, I had several issues before this not windows related and now the issues are windows related. I have spent hours last night and hours today trying to get this to work. I have the MediaCreationTool that I use to get windows boot and I have a activation key already. I Install windows, My pc restarts only for it to restart to a blue screen telling me that SYSTEMS32 wasn't installed correctly and I'm missing files, I have watched hours of Youtube vids of missing system32 files and none of them meet the situation that I'm currently in I used recovery usb to see if that would shove system32 in there I tried to repair my pc i tried using CMD prompt and doing the commands that YouTube video says to do and now I'm stuck at my pc saying that I'm missing a critical system32 file that wont download from the windows boot from mediacrationtool i have spent 3 months trying to fix and repair my entire pc to use it and NOTHING is working idk what's going at this point and I'm stump I don't know where to go so I'm making this post to see if anyone in the world has had the same issue that i have had with windows. If you can help in anyway or have had this issue PLEASE let me know I'm willing to call/discord/text anything to get my pc back.

Answer 1

Hi,

Are you downloading fresh from the Create Media site, or are you reusing an image of the ISO ?

Have you tried a different flash drive ?

Another option might be to save the installation media as a ISO and use a free tool called RUFUS to burn it to the flash drive.. It provides more options than Microsoft's website..

Answer 2

I do Each time if it doesnt work i delete everything off the flashdrive then reinstall it and try again i have one installing as a i type this

Answer 3

Hi,

If that is the case I would think there is a corruption problem with the flash drive..

If you are so inclined, you might try a "Custom Install" and delete the old OS partition just to make sure that it is trying to boot to the correct one.. This might be a last resort.. I would use a fresh installation on the flash drive from the Create Media Tool though..

Answer 4

After the boot installs i take the flash drive out during the restart then it brings up the menu about system32 not working

Answer 5

Hi,

I can only think that there is a problem with the installation media you are using..

BTW... Are you removing the installation media during the first reboot ? If not, you might try that..
