Windows 7: Made bootable USB but getting "Disk read error" at boot time, why? 17 Oct 2011 #1 Corazon Windows disk error when booting from usb 7 Professional SP1 32-bit 1,785 posts Fantasyland Made bootable USB but getting "Disk read error" at boot time, why? Would greatly appreciate some help trying to create a bootable system on my 16GB USB stick. Here's what
Start Booting From Usb Device Disk Error
I did: In Diskpart: clean to wipe the USB stick clean create partition primary offset=32 align=32 to create a fresh partition starting at sector 64 (rather than 63) active to make it bootable Next, I formatted it as NTFS with a 32KB cluster size. I then used bootsect /nt60 U: /mbr (where U: is my USB stick) to write boot code compatible with Vista/7's bootmgr. I extracted the contents of a known working WinPE .iso image to the USB stick disk read error when booting from usb which placed a bootmgr and Boot\BCD in its root. After restarting my computer, USB stick (which is set to #1 in BIOS boot order) is briefly accessed but almost immediately the message Disk read error. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot appears. Did I miss a step, or what did I do wrong? Could the partition offset or cluster size be the reason? Please note, I want to do the process manually and don't want to use tools like the HP USB format tool or anything like that, because they'll invariably place the partition at sector 63 which I'm trying to avoid for performance reasons.

It worked on one computer, while on another one it didn't work. When changing the boot order, the computer rather boots normally. When changing it disk read error to only boot from USB, it says something similar to Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk. I tested this USB stick on the first machine where it worked and it still is working, so the problem must be on the machine (the one where it's not working). Question: Is there a BIOS setting I have to make (despite of the boot order) in order to make it work? bios windows-8 usb-boot share|improve this question asked Oct 27 '12 at 19:52 bytecode77 4272623 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted Problem solved. The only option I didn't even think to check was the option that needed to be changed (as always). The issue wasn't changing the boot sequence order by adding USB but rather adjusting the "Hard drive" option in the boot sequence to check USB first and then hard drive. Apparently, The flash will read as an actual hard drive. share|improve this answer answered Oct 27 '12 at 20:11 bytecode77 4272623 It's a bit counterintuitive that the flash disk settings are in hard drive section and not in removable disk section. You saved my day, thanks. –username Dec 17 '12 at 6:5
