Why was it uselessly slow from a USB 3 flash drive?

I've tried using WinToUSB on both a 32 GB USB 3 flash drive and a really old 160 GB  mechanical (spinning) drive.


I've tested both, and the flash drive has much faster read/write speeds than the spinning drive. It can do like 130/60 MBps, while the spinning drive is more like 27/27.

Yet, when I tried to install Windows 10 on the flash drive, and booted from it, it was painfully slow. It froze all the time, and was basically useless.

Running from the (8 year old) mechanical drive, it works just fine! It's probably not at optimal speed, but it's just fine for my needs.

I remember getting a warning while installing to the flash drive, saying that it might not work very well on that drive. But why is that? Isn't read/write speed the most important thing? What limitations are there on the USB 3 flash drive that made running Windows from it not work? I mean, it's read/write speeds are so fast!

Win2USB for Win10 upgrades?

Hi all,

as you all know Microsoft free upgrade from Win7 to Win10 ends end of July.
As I have a couple of Win7 Pro machines which are all deployed by an image-base installation tool. Worked fine for Win7, I just had to enter the license key after imaging was done. Smile
Now I am thinking of upgrading these machines to Win10. Unfortunately MS now bundles the Win10 license with the hardware. So the only way to activate the Win10 license from every Win7 PC is to perform the manual upgrade to Win10. Obviously for approx 60 machines this will take ages!  Angry

So I was thinking if it is possible to boot Win10 with Win2USB, register the machine with the assigned Win7 license key and shut it down. If I decide later to use Win10 I can deploy from image and all machines are already registered.

Is this a possible way? And would Win2USB work in this way?

BTW:
I installed Win2USB on a 128GB USB Flash device based on the Win10 Pro ISO file. It started booting, "preparing" and finally showd up my installed Win7 Pro...
Any ideas?

Thanks!

USB functionality during WinPE cloning

I am trying to clone the current operating system which is Windows 7, to USB and will get stuck as soon as the PC has been restarted and WinPE has loaded to start the clone process. Then, an Error message pops up and reads "Specified disk not found. (0x0005003501480000)"

My keyboard and mouse are no longer functioning either. The USB flash drive and keyboard/mouse are both plugged into USB 2.0 ports.


I also came across this situation with USB ports not functioning when trying to install Windows 7. And after an hour of searching online, basically I had to create a Windows 7 Installation image with xHCI drivers included, according to Intel. This was all explained in a technical white paper addressing EHCI Removal from 6th Generation Intel Core Processor Family PCH which explains why we aren't able to use a keyboard and mouse, and any devices plugged into any USB ports when booting with a Windows 7 install cd, Windows Repair utility.

I attached a copy of the white paper released by Intel to help give a better understanding because I'm not doing a good job of explaining my problem here. Hopefully it will help.

Is there a way to include USB drivers to the WinPE image building process in wintousb?  

Any help with this is appreciated! I know I left out alot of information so please ask away.

I'm attempting to to use a Windows 8.1 machine to create a Windows 7 boot drive on a new Western Digital  1tb external hard drive.  While using Wintousb, all goes well until i get to the screen where I should select my destination drive.  At that point, my external hard drive does not show up - even though I can see it in explorer.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

Ver 3.1 Error "Disk type cannot be identified.(0x0578003802FD0000)"

I'm on a Windows 10 computer, using the latest version of WinToUSB, and every time I go to select my external hard disk drive, the error message "Disk type cannot be identified.(0x0578003802FD0000)" pops up. I have tried searching the Internet and cannot find anyone else with this problem.

Side note: I just used this hard drive to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional from an ISO image onto my hard drive, accidentally selecting "Windows 7 Home Premium" and unknowingly running everything through USB 3.0 ports. Needless to say my first run didn't work. I'm now going to install the 32 bit version (just to be safe) of Windows 7 Professional from an ISO image, however WinToUSB won't even identify my hard drive.

Windows 10 - Using blu-ray disc instead of usb-thumb drive?

Hello,

I want to create a Windows 10 Pro. 64bit boot medium with WinToUSB. Then I want to live-boot Windows 10 and officially activate it. (hardware ID)


* Is it possible to use a Blu-ray disc (R / RW) instead of a usb thumb drive?

* If it's not possible with WinToUSB, could I just use the Windows 10 iso file provided by Microsoft and burn it onto my blu-ray with e.g. Nero? Would this work to boot Windows 10 and officially activate Windows 10 for my computer (hardware)?


Yours,

I am running Windows 10 64-bit on my host machine. I plug in my Samsung SSD disk created by Microsoft's Windows-to-Go application. I have Virtual Box 5.1.2r108956 installed.  I start my licensed copy of Windows-to-Go Upgrader. It detects my SSD drive (which does not have Bitlocker). I get  a message that says, " The selected device cannot be upgraded" along with an "Operation Failed" message (see attached).

What am I doing wrong?

Won´t accept preformatted partitions?

Hi,

I´m having a hard time completing the installtion due to disk partition or space problem. I have used this "Kingston DT 100 G2 16 GB" (recognized as 14,6 GB) before installing Win10 but I can´t seem to succeed now.

First I tried with just using WinToUSB and letting it format the USB, then I get the disk space problem:

.png   wintousb1.png (Size: 27.67 KB / Downloads: 2)

After that I tried manually formatting the USB into two different formations with disk part and after that MiniTool Partition Free into one primary NTFS partition with 14 GB of space and then another one with FAT32 with 987 MB of space. Then when I´m trying to use WinToUSB it doesn´t accept my partitions and want to format them:

How its formatted:

and

The "error":

Virtual Disk to WinToUSB

July 25, 2016, 3:26 am

I installed Win7 on a virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox).
-I got a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB USB 3.0 (connected to USB 2.0 port during all of this)
-Win7 SP1

1. Created a dynamic vhd in Windows 7, created 2 partitions:
SYSTEM - FAT32 100 MB active and primary
and
BOOT(Windows) - NTFS 28 GB primary

2. Then i opened the vhd in VirtualBox and installed Win7 on it.

3. Started Win2USB and choose "Image File". I opened the vhd file I just installed Win7 to.

Now here is the problem. When I come to the "Please select the system partition" screen I can only choose one partition and not the two I created.
Why? What can I do to fix that? Or are vhd files not really supported?
I guess the 0x000.. error occurs because there is only one partition.

Would be great to be able to do a VM-machine to USB-machine conversion Smile

Memory_Management error

Dear all,
I'm now to this great world of Windows Portable.

I've installed Win10 on a USB flash and when starting I get a blue screen with
"Sad Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. You can restart. If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"

Tech data:
PC: Dell Inspiron 7359, i7, 13", USB3, Win10-64 (service tag 9ZDW682)
USB flash: Kingstone HyperX Savage 256 GB, 350/250 MB/s
Installed portable OS: Win 10-64 (installed in VHDX mode); tried also Win8-64 in VHDX and VHDX, same error.

I needed to set the Boot mode to Legacy (non UEFI) to be able to select the USB drive for boot (F12 at startup).
By the way, after setting Boot Legacy mode, when I'd like to boot again with the original OS, I need to change again Boot Mode settings to Only UEFI.

Any idea?

Support for Arsenal Virtual SCSI disk devices as destination disk

Hello,

It would be nice to have support for Arsenal Virtual SCSI disk devices as destination disk. These are virtual disk devices created by the Arsenal Image Mounter tool. Currently these are not shown in the "Please select the destination disk:" combobox (probably because they are not using the USB bus).

This way it is not necessary to use an actual physical disk as destination, but a virtual one (a VHD image, for instance). These may be used within a virtual machine. Another usage example is with Easy2Boot, which can boot VHD files.

John

How to partition USB drive?

Hy,
I have a 30GB Kingston DataTraveller USB Sick. Win-to-USB formats it to only 1 partition (MBR, NTFS). So I cant go on, as the second partition is missing.

I took the stick to a Linux and created 2 partitions (Fat32, NtfS) using gparted, as Windows cant do that (i think).

BUT when I use that stick, Win-to-USB reformats it again after selection of the target device!

How to do that?

p.s.: whats the minimum size of the boot partition? (I want to install Win10 on the USB Stick).

Thx!

I had to use VHD to copy my current installation . Starting up was
very slow , then I started my virtual box into this XP virtual . Its

I am completely confused about what I have cloned , is it just the
start partition ?

Anyway , it is MEGA .

However it always errors out with the well known system api error. For specifics, I put the user.log in the attachment.

I hope you can fix this issue for me (:
