H55N-USB3 won't boot from USB

H55N-USB3 won't boot from USB
« on: April 23, 2011, 09:55:47 pm »
I try to reinstall Windows 7 from my USB key but it doesn't work. It worked the first time though. All it does it's to stay on "Loading Operating System" and when I take off the USB key it does the usual "Failed loading Operating system"

Any suggestion here?

It sounds like maybe the OS files on the USB key have got corrupted.

That doesn't necessarilly mean anything. Just because the source was good doesn't mean that the copy is perfect. However that is only one explanation.

You could have a fault with your memory or several other things that could have the same effect.
