Unable to boot from USB drive Solved

Question

Hello everyone,My Asus XM hard drive has failed, so I just installed a new one. I copied the Windows installation tool onto a USB stick, but I can't find the options in the BIOS to force the computer to boot from the USB. In the menu, I have main, advanced, boot, security, and save. In boot, there are: start easy flash: internal pointing device (enabled) / wake on lid open (enabled) / power of energy saving (enabled) then intel virtualization technology: sata configuration / network stack configuration / usb configuration.In this last tab, I have XHCI mode (disabled) and mass storage devices: usb disk 2.0 PMAP (forced fdd).This is all like Chinese to me... I can't find the options described in various forums that allow booting from the HDD or USB or DVD...Thank you for your help.

Hello, there are several things to consider when installing Windows.  Understand the MBR/GPT installation system. MBR and GPT are two types of disk management; GPT is an advanced version of MBR that allows for managing more partitions and disks larger than 2TB. Therefore, we recommend a GPT installation for Windows.  To install in MBR, the disk must be in MBR format; to install in GPT, the disk must be in GPT (to change the format, see below ;), you also need to make sure the installer is in MBR or GPT (depending on which one you want to install). To do this, it's simple: Rufus allows you to extract the ISO and choose the desired format (MBR for BIOS or UEFI; GPT for UEFI).  Next, you need to configure the BIOS correctly. The first thing to do is to disable Secure Boot (under Security). Then, XHCI is for the 3.0 ports, and by setting it to disabled, the 3.0 ports will behave like 2.0 ports, allowing the use of an external mouse and/or keyboard.  After saving and restarting the BIOS, you should normally be able to boot from your USB drive by selecting [UEFI]USB_name either in the BIOS under Boot or Save, or in the bootable devices (Esc during startup generally).  Then, if during the installation you see "cannot install, disk is in GPT," you need to go to "Repair" at the bottom left where it says "Install now," then troubleshoot > advanced > command prompt, then in the command prompt type: diskpart list disk select disk x (x being the disk number in the list just above) convert gpt exit exit  Then restart the installer  After Windows is installed, you need to install the drivers, either by downloading them from the manufacturer's website, or through an online driver software (Driver Cloud, All Drivers), or via SDI Tool, which should contain all the necessary drivers but is 12.5GB in size.
