Hi,
im having troubled running wintoHDD and i get the following error message.
im using a MacPro with a VMware Virtual Machine on Windows 10 Pro that was installed using an ISO.
i want to install Windows on a internal HDD because for some reason Bootcamp doesnt restart properly with my CD.
I added the IDE drive to the virtual machine so i can see it and format it in the Virtual Windows 10 part.
The HDD is on SATA and on GPT. it has an EFI partition on MS-DOS FAT32 and a boot partition with 900gb on NTFS.
im getting the above error message and cannot continue. ive also tried to reformat the drive but it didnt help.
any help?
thx

Dear Hasleo Team and Fellow WinToUSB Users,

I have got a rather strange problem:

I successfully installed Windows 8.1 Pro onto a Samsung Fit 128GB USB. I intend to use this as a bootable on the go Windows drive.
I installed all necessary drivers with BootCamp and got to run Windows 8.1 on my MacBook Pro 13" Late 2013 (retina).

Now to the problem: Everytime I shut down the MacBook Pro and try to boot (MBR) from the Samsung fit again I get the "no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key" message right at the startup.
BUT! when I then try to boot from the same USB drive on my iMac 27" Late 2012 (FusionDrive) I can successfully boot Windows. After shutting down from my iMac, going back to my MacBook I can boot as well on my MacBook Pro. But when I shut down on my MacBook and try to reboot I am again prompted with the "no bootable device" message. WTF?!

I am pretty clueless about what to do next. I tried reinstalling Windows 8.1 and got the same result.

Just to sum up my problem:

Boot from USB on MacBook Pro --> no bootable device

Boot from USB on iMac --> Windows boot perfectly

Boot from USB on MacBook right after iMac boot --> Windows boot perfectly

Boot from USB on MacBook again after shutting down --> no bootable device


I do not want to EFI boot (cause that doesn't work unless you shut down system integrity)
The Windows Installation does completely work on said MacBook


I am very very thankful for every advice you can give me!

Any solution? (ps.: there is NO version of windows on the HDD that i'm trying to install it NOR something with the Windows name)

Trying to use the free version in order to make a Windows USB, getting the following error:
The free/trial version does not support Windows / Server systems.

I've downloaded the image with the Windows 10 Media Creation tool, so it should be a regular desktop version.

Where comes the Bootloader comes from and under what license is it?

WinToUSB writes an Bootloader to the USB-stick which for example loads the VHD or VHDX. And the legacy option creates an bootloader, too.

Is this bootloader © Microsoft, © Hasleo Software or © of anybody other?
And under what license is the Bootloader?

Hello there

I need a system clone, cause i`ve had a very bad lost of all my dates, which where on a ssd. So now, i installed everything again, it works, but i really want a "safe copy" from my os, so that i would be able to work, if this happens again.

In the last time i cloned my os with a great tool on an intern HD. This intern HD now is only for the Dates. So i cloned my os on an extern USb-HD. But anytime, i want to boot, i got a blue screen: "Inaccessible BootDevice".

So now, someone told me, that no Windows can boot from an USB Device!

In January 2018 i got the version "WinToUSB" as Full Version and i want to clone on a USB-Flash-Drive (128GB). It cloned for 2 hours, but at the end theres was an error: "The system cannot write ti the specified Device" System Clone was not successfull.

The whole Files and directories are written on the stick, but i cannot boot from it.

What can i do?

I`ve just took a look in the Wintousb.ini:
there is "NTFSFormat=2" !!

I am posting here because there is no general forum. Everytime today 12-31-2017 I visit your website and click on certain links like to the EasyUefi product page, holiday special, or contact us. My anti virus software blocks a Jscoinminer download and I am unable to access the webpage. Note this does not happen on all your webpages. I did not happen yeasterday. Since contact is "infected" I was unable to contact you that way. This was tested from two different computer. It appears that your website may have been hacked.

Does the external USB drive have to be completely empty and formatted in order to install Windows 10 on it?

I have a 4TB external USB drive with lot of music files on it. I intend to create a small partition on this drive and install Win 10 on that. Let me know how to do that. I can clone or use an iso for install. Thanks.
