windows 10 media creation tool error usb

Microsoft used to have a link towards the iso files but now i am forced to use the mediacreation tool which does not work or i have to pay for a subscription. But what to do if the specified software refuses to recognize a flash drive. But to no prevail.ĭoes anybody know where to get the windows iso files from ? Often in these situations, users turn to the official Media Creation Tools utility. I told my firewall to allow all from windows. I turned off the option that my virus scanner is checking usb devices. I tried to install windows 10 on a flash drive.Īfter starting the media creation tool and it starts progressing, my flash drive pops up as an unrecognized device through the windows 10 notification popup and has no longer any files or filesystem on it.Īnd the media creation tool stop with this error : 0x80070003 -0xA001A. It comes back with some cryptic error and searching for it does not provide answers, only worries because so many people have this issue and there is no solution it seems. I downloaded the latest version but it is no use. Up still now, if you don't fix Windows 10 bootable USB not detected or showing up via the given solutions, you can choose to create an installation disc with Windows 10 media creation tool provided by Microsoft's official website, or create a bootable USB drive with built-in recovery drive (for detailed steps, see Windows 10 recovery disk).

Only, that damned media creation tool that did not work when i went over to windows 10 from windows 7 many moons ago still has errors today for some reason. In preparation for my new pc, i am busy trying to get everything ready.
