The only solution that I found to work, is to do a restore to factory settings. The only thing that does work is when I put the W2G stick back in the computer it boots up normally from the stick without any problems. The boot order has my HDD drive selected as first but even when i force it to boot up from the HDD it still gets stuck inthe infinite loop that i described. I have tried everything that I could think of because it won't even boot up in safe mode no matter what I do.

When I shutdown the pc and remove the W2G USB stick to try and boot normally into Windows 8.1 that is installed on my laptop, it won't boot up windows as it should and the laptop gets stuck in an infinite loop of crashing trying to restore itself. The installation of the stick went without any problems and it works fine. I am a student and had to buy a W2G stick for school. Have you been working with Windows To Go? Please share your experiences. Of course, you also have to ensure that your USB drive comes before the internal system drive in the boot drive priority order. In that case, you might have to disable the boot options Secure Boot and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). PC ignores Windows To Go USB drive ^Īnother problem that you might encounter if you want to boot up Windows To Go on a relatively new PC is that the computer ignores the USB drive and boots up from the internal drive.

Of course, you have to do this from a working Windows 8 machine.

“X:” the driver letter of your USB drive. You only have to re-create the boot entries: Investigation is ongoing… If you experienced a similar problem, please let me know.Īnyway, to fix the boot problem, you don’t need to re-install Windows To Go. But since this happened a couple of times with different USB drives, I somehow doubt that it is a hardware issue. It appears that something messed up my boot configuration when I used the USB stick for other purposes. When I checked the USB drive, winload.exe was always perfect in shape. That is why I wanted to use Windows To Go. Well, I already knew that the PC needs to be repaired. The application or operating system couldn't be loaded becauseĪ required file is missing or contains errors. Several times already, my Windows To Go flash drive was somehow damaged and Windows 8 refused to boot up. Not everything shines with Windows To Go. This would allow them to restore their laptop with a pre-configured image when they messed up their installation but are too far away from the office to bother you. If you have laptop users who seldom come to the office, you might offer them this backup option.

I can highly recommend the WD My Passport 2TB Portable External Hard Drive for this purpose. A flash drive is usually not big enough to store a backup, which is why I use an external hard drive for this purpose. I am using Acronis True Image, which is probably the best backup/imaging tool around. You can also use Windows To Go to restore a PC with an imaging tool. Windows 8 doesn’t boot up as fast as from the SSD of my Samsung Ultrabook, but it is definitely faster than from a hard disk. I am using the Kingston DTHX30 64GB stick on a USB 3.0 port. It is really amazing how fast Windows 8 boots up from a USB stick. And, if a tool is missing, you download it with the web browser of your choice or connect to your Dropbox account to get all you need. You can even easily repair systems that are protected with BitLocker. You can essentially use any tool that runs on Windows 8. I think recovery boot systems such as Kon-Boot and the Trinity Rescue Kit have a hard time to come.
