Windows 8.1 to go, starting error

Hi,
I have a windows to go, Installation went without problems, i started it and check disk for error and now not running. When i started the Auto Repair, he see not a Windows 8, only a Windows 7 ( on PC). Can you help me?

Could you elaborate on the process you used to create Windows To Go?

More than likely if the system is not bootable the creation process was not completed successfully.

Are you using a Certified USB Drive? Since this is an unaltered freshly created system it won't hurt to try the process once more.

Aomei Partition Assistant has a Windows To Go Creator Wizard to help with the process.

The system was created about 1 months ago. I used unCertified USB driver.
The process is:running cmd as administrator and type
DISKPART
list disk
select disk 2
Clean
Create partition Primary
format FS=NTFS
Active Assign
exit
dism /apply-image /imagefile:h:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:f:\
bcdboot F:\windows /s F: /F /all

I try sfc /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows /scannow and windows recovery found no error

Click to expand...

You need to create the image using an ISO. If you attempt to copy files from the Directory Windows is currently using it will not copy all the required files.

Can you me would better to explain, please

Step 1) Insert Windows 8.1 Enterprise ISO Disc into CD Drive.

Step 2) Insert USB Drive into Computer. (At least 32GB)

Step 3) Click Windows To Go Creator



Step 4) Choose the USB Drive & Windows 8 Installation File.


Step 5) Click Yes






The drive will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

And the next step?

Scan the USB drive using chkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt.

Make a fresh copy of the Windows 8 Enterprise Disc. Try again.

Chkdsk found no error.

I use my classic manner (cmd) and create windows to go and works perfectly.
Now i have one more question, how to disable chkdsk on the windows to go?

chkntfs /X [Drive Letter]

Good info here, thanks!
