bludgard Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 ...what's with the message you sent me?The PM?http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?app=members&module=messaging§ion=view&do=showConversation&topicID=12599&st=0#msg12991"Waz up, Troll?Wanna dance with the 1 who can disable all?"In response to the attitude (to me; confrontational = Troll {takes one to know one }).If one would kindly connect the USB drive and run a disk check; it would be a start.

mitch323 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Start the computer. Plug in the USB device. Click Start > Computer > right-click the drive (if available) > Properties > Tools > Error-checking (tick boxes highlighted in photo) > consent to whatever is presented.I gotta go deal with another (real-life troll in a wheel-chair). :lol:I'll be back in about an hour.

bludgard Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The .ISO may be of re-compiling to run live. Not a shappy idea, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch323 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Huh? And also, it's not an ISO just slapped onto the drive. Didn't you read that article I linked you to? I used gimagex and the install.wim file. And lastly, it isn't beeping because of what's on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch323 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Okay, sorry, I'm just not seeing any help here. All it's been is idle conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Idle conversation?I tried to help early on and each reply to me came with a little bit extra information such that any and all responses from me were rendered pointless.Remember that the only Windows 8 version available as of this date (5 August 2012) is Windows 8 Release Preview in the form of an ISO image. It is not the final version and is necessarily limited in its versatility, especially in respect of how it can be installed and used.I am doubtful that this version of W8 can be used directly from a Flash drive without being loaded on to the hard drive of a computer.The whole of this exercise is somewhat pointless anyway as the Release Preview has a limited lifespan and will be rendered useless a few months after the launch of the final (paid for) version.
