jimmythesaint53 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Mounted ISO file, disconnected from internet, started install, but have same issue I had when using WU... stuck at 90%. The Dell Inspirion 15 i'm trying to update has no DVD drive, so i'm thinking I need to try and install from flash drive, but not sure how to proceed. I read in the forum about using Rufus to create bootable flash drive. Is there an instruction to help me configure bootable flash drive to install Windows 10 feature update 1903 downloaded from HeiDoc.net? Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Best tool to create a bootable flash drive is Rufus. https://rufus.ie/ It's pretty much self explanatory. If you're unsure about some step, just ask here in this thread again. Quote
jimmythesaint53 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Rufus doesn't see Windows 10 feature update 1903 downloaded from HeiDoc.net in my download folder. I moved the file to desktop with the same results. Even when I change to view all files it doesn't show. Where did I go wrong? Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Have you already imported the downloaded file into Rufus? Click the "Select" button to do so. Quote
jimmythesaint53 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 The file was downloaded a few days ago before Rufus was installed. The select button allows me to navigate to where the file is, but Rufus can't see it. I tried moving the file from downloads to desktop and tried again with same results. I read on Rufus site that I have to check for updates to see ISO, which I did. When I choose all files I can some other files on desktop but not the one I need the ISO. Quote
mooms Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I've just found that Rufus can now download Windows 10 iso! Quote

Let's make sure the file is not corrupt. You'll find the hashes as published by Microsoft here: https://www.heidoc.net/php/myvsdump_family.php?family=Windows+10%2C+version+1909 If your file has a different hash, you should download it again. If it has the same hash, we can investigate further. Quote
jimmythesaint53 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 I'm trying to install 1903 not 1909. Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Installation of 1903 also doesn't work with a corrupt file. Please verify that your file is not corrupt. Quote
jimmythesaint53 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 The link you sent me is for update 1909, which I have not attempted to install. I have 1903 which I downloaded from HeiDoc.net site. I'm not comfortable at this time installing 1909. I'm not sure how to perform the steps to ensure that 1903 file is not corrupt. Is there an instruction you could point me to? Thank you Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Find the hashes here: https://www.heidoc.net/php/myvsdump_family.php?family=Windows+10%2C+version+1903 You can calculate the hash of the downloaded file with 7-zip for example, or through power shell: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/get-filehash?view=powershell-7 Quote
jimmythesaint53 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Hash check completed successfully using 7 Zip. Report attached. Document 5.docx Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Okay, I'll download the same file and will try to replicate. Quote
Jan Krohn Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 There's no issue opening the file in Rufus. Maybe it's an issue on your system. You could try using a different computer to create the flash drive. Quote

jimmythesaint53 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 And therein lies the problem. Quote
