Hey everyone! I'm having a tough time doing a clean install of Windows 11 using a USB flash drive. Every time I try, I hit an error screen that says 'ERROR 0xc000000f: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.' I can't seem to get past this point, and it's really frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

I had a similar issue before. Have you checked whether the USB drive is properly created? Use the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft to ensure everything is set up right. It might help avoid that error.

It sounds like you might need to check your BIOS settings or how your flash drive is formatted. Make sure the USB is set as the boot device and try using a tool like Rufus to create the bootable drive correctly. And, just as a reminder, always backup your data before making these changes!

Another thing to try is to test the USB port you’re using. Sometimes it can be port-related. Also, if you have another USB stick available, it might be worth trying to make a new bootable drive with that one!
