I'm currently trying to install windows 10 (enterprise) on my new laptop via an external hard drive, but I only stumble from problem to problem.
I just have the problem that the external is no longer displayed. Before that, I wanted to format the hard drive to FAT32 via the command prompt, but when I was ready, the formatting command said: Formatting error, wrong parameters (I followed these instructions: https://www.tecchannel.de/a/windows-10-von-usb-stick-installieren,3277665, at 6:30)
At the command prompt, the hard drive is still there, but the formatting still does not work. There's also 1TB available space.
Before that, I had simply formatted the hard drive by right-clicking on FAT32, the hard drive was then bootable with the other laptop. However, when I pull over the ISO, I get told that the storage space is too small.
Can someone help me? First of all to get the hard drive "running" again?
I hardly understand what you are writing.
Create USB boot stick, install Win10 and it is good.
Shouldn't Windows hard drives be formatted with NTFS?
Why on FAT32? This should be formatted NTFS, especially if you have files that are larger than 4GB, which should be the case with ISO.
Hm i read that one should do this with fat32, otherwise it is not bootable. So it is said in the video
if I format on ntfs it is not shown in the boot menu
I tried that
but when i create the usb boot stick (select in cmd, clean, create partition, activate, format fat32) it tells me there's not enough space.
what should I do instead?
?
Aren't you using Microsoft's Creator Tool?
You need an 8GB USB stick.
The creator tool goes as far as i don't know for windows 10 enterprise, i tried that before and the key doesn't work.
Do you really want to install from an external hard drive? Why?
To do this, you take a USB stick with at least 8 GB (can of course also be larger), but no external hard drive, I'm not sure whether that works at all, a hard drive is simply not a USB stick.
A USB stick that you want to use as a boot / installation medium for Windows 10 must have at least 8 GB storage capacity.
