WINDOWS MEDIA CREATION TOOL NOT DETECTING USB WINDOWS 10

The flash drive drive properties just says USB drive. After creating my bootable USB flash drive using the Media Creation Tool stand alone method (no Rufus or Diskpart) that icon is now a Computer screen with a green forward pointing arrow on it.

Under My computer/This PC on Windows 10 the flash drive had the same icon as my C: drive local disc. I formatted the sandisk ultra myself first using the windows own format right click on the drive method. Hi John, Ive just read that sandisk forum link.

If Sandisk was referring to using a SSD for install media that sounds crazy.

Perhaps the Media Creation Tool only runs if you have a flash drive that is showing as removable disk. The only tool I know of that can create a bootable USB flash drive that acts like a hard drive is Rufus. The only thing I can think of that may be an issue is some older Sandisk drives show themselves to Windows as a hard disk (local disk) and not as a removable drive. The Media Creation Tool also gives options to create a DVD or USB flash drive.ДЄny flash drive 8GB or larger should be fine. If I decide to use another USB flash drive brand in the future.which USB flash drives work well with the Windows Media Creation Tool?ДЄnybodys feedback here would be much appreciated.Thanks Ive always been happy with Sandisk until I spoke to them yesterday. Has anyone else used the Sandisk Ultra 16gb USB flash drive successfully? Am I likely to have any problems with this flash drive? I'm going to try the clean installation as soon as I get chance. Ive tested it by rebooting then F12 and the Sandisk Ultra is there. Everything seemed to go without any problems.

People should always use SSD drives according to them!! They told me it might work.might not.they say they aren't tested for Windows installation usage only for file storage!! Anyway.Ive created the USB flash drive this morning using the Windows Media Creation Tool. Having read online about people having problems with flash drives including Sandisk.I contacted Sandisk Tech Support.whose advice was useless!! They told me they don't recommend anybody to use a USB flash drive for Windows installations. My flash drive is a Sandisk Ultra 16gb SDCZ40 model that I bought a while ago. This time I wanted to do a clean installation and cut out the need for Third Party Rufus by just using the Windows Media Creation Tool to create my bootable USB flash drive. Ive used Rufus successfully before to create Bootable USB Flash Drive Windows 10 Installation Media.
