Hi,
I have (I think) a Clevo P870tm1-g. It has the full copper plate heat sink. It origionally had a 7700k (or 6700k) and was modded with the dsank BIOS and now has a 9700k, 2 gtx 1080sli and one 1tb SSD.
I just bought it yesterday and wanted to reinstall windows. The recovery option from Windows did not work (it stops about 60 percent of the way and wants to restart). So I made a recovery USB. While this is seen as bootable, none of the options leads to doing a recovery from the USB. I eventually tried to redo the SSD based recovery, and now all of a sudden either my SSD is not seen or not seen as bootable. If I turn the computer on, it shows bios then says " Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press any key". I put a windows 10 ISO on another USB and this doesn't change behavior (I may have done this wrong, maybe its more complicated than putting an iso on a usb?). The recovery usb still works but I have tried every option and none of them help.
Even stranger is in the BIOS all four SATA drives show empty. Would the SSD show in the SATA list? I don't see it anywhere else. I tried changing the settings so all USB and all HHD are bootable, but this didn't change anything either.
I cant even tell if the SSD is missing or not. If I choose the ssd recovery option from the USB recovery it works for ten minutes then fails at around 60%, I would imagine if there was no disk it would warn me right away?
If I try to find the ISO USB it doesn't work and doesn't have any other options. At this point I cant find any real info on the problem and don't know of anything else to try.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like you corrupted the install and you need to start fresh.

As already set, use the media creation USB tool to get a propper working boot media.Last edited: Feb 17, 2020 -

Were you in uefi mode with a GPT partitioned usb drive with the image on it?

Thanks for the responses. I'm an idiot, I didn't realize how the Microsoft USB software worked. I have not done this since XP and 95 and didn't understand how a 17 meg download could fix windows until I used the utility.

You are not the first, I helped one guy still using an RM tool fron 15 years ago to create usb sticks which were of course not uefi compatible.
