USB flash drive

The only thing that worked on an Asus X93SV was to use WoeUSB: https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB

Fix booting

Laptop showed only a blinking white underscore on a black screen when booting the hard drive.

Solution: Boot recovery flash drive and run the following commands in a shell (cmd):

  • Bootrec /fixmbr
  • Bootrec /fixboot
  • Bootrec /scanos
  • Bootrec /rebuildbcd

scanos luckily found the windows installation, so rebuildbcd worked.
