What should I do if I can’t boot the installation of Windows 7 on a laptop from a USB flash drive?
Task: reinstall (change) Windows 10 to Windows 7, on a terribly buggy laptop, so that it works faster.
Patient: ASUS X751NA I
downloaded the image from monkrus.ws, wrote it to a USB flash drive with Ultra ISO, checked the boot performance on my PC (I also have Windows 10, but not a laptop), I checked it, everything works. He put on a white coat and went to the patient. I inserted the USB flash drive, went into the BIOS, set the boot from the USB flash drive. The laptop is trying to boot, but the error is:
Status: 0xc000000f. Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
Looked for what could be the problem. Everywhere they write - repair the flash drive with the image, the image is broken. But I've tested it on several PCs already - EVERYWHERE except this damn laptop, it boots up and starts installing.
What has already been tried:
- Put the same image with Rufus, with GPT, UEFI(non-csm) settings, still the same error when loading.
- I looked in the BIOS for the settings "Disable UEFI, Secure boot. Enable Legacy support, CSM", they are not there.
- I stuck a flash drive into different ports, the result did not change.

Make a flash drive with EFI boot, and rEFInd bootloader. Then you can download any winPE there (there are a lot of assemblies in torrents, I used TechAdminPE), and after booting into winPE, we run the winntsetup program, we indicate where to install it (it can be from an image or from a folder), and where we install it, and where the bootloader will be (before that partition / format the disk in advance). Everything. Unpack, reboot, and the installation went on.
