USB bootable installation start problem

[tigre_est]

Hello. I already received my new computer yesterday but I have a question.

When the PC arrived, I inserted a bootable USB and installed Windows 7 ultimate 64bits. To do this, I did not enter the BIOS or anything, I just plugged it in and the PC started from the PEN. In the last step of the installation, the PC restarted, and the installation ended only from where it had left before restarting, without needing to remove the PEN until it was completely finished.

It happens that due to a software that was not installing properly, I decided to format and reinstall W7 from the beginning, with the bad luck that halfway through the new installation the lights went out.
Then I tried to restart the installation of W7 from the beginning, from the PEN and it was not possible. I got a message that said it was fixing bootmsr or something like that. So, I entered the BIOS, put the PEN in boot priority 1, and then it was installed, but with the difference compared to the case I described at the beginning, which I will now comment on:

The problem comes now, because right in that last step of the W7 installation, when it restarts to face the final phase of the installation. When it was time to restart, the computer did not start again in the installation completion step, as happened the first time I installed W7, but when it restarted, it started the W7 installation again from the PEN, from the beginning. Because of this, I had to remove the PEN, restart again, and then it did return to the last step of the W7 installation where it had left.

The question is:

How can I reconfigure the BIOS to work exactly the way I describe in step 1, in blue? That is, so that if I insert the pen, it picks it up and installs W7, but when the W7 installation manager restarts, once it has started, it does not pick up the pen again, but continues with the installation that is already started. The motherboard model is in the signature.

I think the different behavior has to do with the fact that on the first occasion, the HDD was completely empty, and it was not a valid boot option, so it continues the boot sequence until it finds a valid one, in that case it was the USB.

When you tried to reinstall it, the HDD boots but is damaged, and to get it to boot from the USB you have to change the boot sequence in BIOS, although you could also use the Multi-Boot key at boot, which allows you to choose the boot device, without changing anything in BIOS.

Salu2!

Thanks Fassou, that could be it... the only thing that doesn't add up is that before the power went out, with a W7 already installed, the PC picked up the PEN directly without touching Bios, and started installing W7.

Anyway, now I have another more important problem. I just posted it. Let's see if you guys who understand the topic can tell me something.

Thanks for everything and goodbye.

One last question related to the topic.

If you set the PEN as the first boot priority in the Bios, and you start the PC with the bootable PEN that contains W7, is it normal that when the PC restarts normally in the middle of the installation, instead of continuing the installation from where it left off when it starts again, it picks up and starts again from the PEN, as if you were starting a new installation?

This happens to me now, and in order for the installation to finish, once this happens, I remove the PEN, restart it again, and it continues installing from where it left off.

Is there a way to avoid this so that without removing the PEN, it can finish the installation completely on its own, having a W7 already previously on the hard drive on which we are installing? Let's say we are doing a reinstallation over an old one.

If you leave the HDD before the USB, and when you start up you press the Multi-Boot key (F11 on many motherboards) to indicate the stick, you get it to boot from USB, only the first time.

Salu2!

PD: Remember that you can load the default values in BIOS, if you want to recover the original state.

Thanks Fassou. Yes, I know that by default the default values are loaded, but they are not the most suitable, right? Or can I record a profile and save it to recover it?

In relation to this, it turns out that this half day I turned off the PC and disconnected it from the power, and when I turned it back on after 20 minutes or so, the BIOS had reset again. I called the store where I bought it and they told me to activate the XMP profile in BIOS, and to turn it off and disconnect it from the power again to see if it would reset again. It turns out that I turned it off and disconnected it from the power for a good while and it didn't reset again. According to my seller, this could have happened because after the power outage, the XMP profile wasn't configured, and at startup the PC may have found conflicting configurations. He says that if it were to reset every time, it would be the battery. The PC is 3 days old.

What do you think about the causes of that reset after being disconnected from the outlet?
