Infinite boot loading on USB after disk partitioning

Hello, let me explain my problem.

I had major slowness on my PC with every interaction, so I decided to format it by booting from a Windows USB.

After following the process, I reach the window to choose the partition to install Windows, but it shows me an error message.

While digging on the internet, I find a solution by going through the command prompt and I format the partition in question.

I close the prompt, shut down and restart, but now when booting from the USB it shows an endless loading on the HP logo

If I don’t boot from the USB I get an error message saying that Windows cannot start and that it needs to be reinstalled.

Does anyone have a lead?

Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    Did you delete all partitions before starting the installation?

    Edit: More details on how to use, the computer and Windows version on the USB key would help better assess the problem, because there are tons of HPs and Windows versions...

      No, I could only install Windows on a single partition; that’s the one I formatted.

      To do it I used the boot USB and the command prompt that’s on it. I no longer have access to it now; it keeps thinking forever as soon as I choose to boot from USB.

      The previous step indicated that Windows cannot start normally and to press Escape to choose to boot differently

        I didn’t understand everything, but you have to configure the boot in the BIOS and on some BIOSes the USB key is recognized as a hard drive, a hard disk indeed.

        so you have to try everything with the BIOS.

        UEFI or legacy installation? which PC, I’m not asking for details for nothing, otherwise it’s a waste of time

    hello

    can you provide the brand and model of the PC, as well as its OS/SE (W7/W8/W8.1/W10/W11)?

    PS: also tell us which OS/SE your PC originally had

      Hello,

      The Windows installation routine from a USB key allows formatting before proceeding with the installation; a prior format is not necessary and, moreover, difficult to perform because unless multiboot, Windows will refuse to perform self-destruct and be formatted from itself.

      I don’t remember, even though I have two of them, if booting from a USB key on an HP, whether the boot order or the Boot Manager (usually F9) goes through the HP logo (in other words whether it is “read” by the BIOS or the EFI partition), everything points to the USB key being poorly made, for a Windows version inappropriate for the hardware or an inappropriate boot order.
