Win 10.
Yes it has a dvd player.
No it doesn't have a floppy drive.
I can burn a CD/dvd on any pc.
50/50 chance it would boot or blue screen.
You still have not answered is usb stick Black on the connector.

Ok I need to test a couple of things - Any of your computers have win 7 ? just as a thought.
What I will test is
make a bootable cd/dvd that will give me a cmd prompt
From that boot to cmd then change to usb and run the install exe from the usb.
This will happen sometime today.
I need to trash a pc first back to a blank hdd and create the files and test.
I will start on this before I start work but I won't be able to finish before I have to start work.
So I will get back to you today at some time

Hi

Yes it worked, happy days, I want to thank you very much for all the trouble you went to.
Glad your going
Long way round - I hope I remember next time someone ask.
So I can improve my answers for others do you mind if I ask a question or two

The problem with E was it the missing colon?
Was there anything that was not claer in my instructions?
Was there anything that was not claer in my instructions?
No I didn't put in the colon on E the first time.
All your instructions were clear, It downloaded winPE and burned it on a dvd no problem.
It was my fault for not putting the colon.
Again many thanks for your help.
Could I ask you how come it works doing it this way and won't work the normal way?
