    | Problem | Probable Cause | Solution with the New ISO | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "No drive found" | AHCI vs. IDE mode | New ISO includes AHCI drivers. Go into BIOS > SATA Configuration > Change from RAID to AHCI. | | Bootable USB freezes on logo | Secure Boot conflict | Disable Secure Boot in UEFI settings (usually under Security tab). | | Regeneration stays at 0% | Frozen actuator head | Stop immediately. This indicates a mechanical crash – software cannot fix it. | | Blue screen after repair | Corrupted bootloader | Use a Windows installation USB and run bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /rebuildbcd. | | USB boot gives "Missing operating system" | Rufus wrote in DD mode | Recreate the USB using ISO mode in Rufus, not DD. |
