Q: Can't boot laptop into Winows 8.1 installation iso on DVD for reinstallation

2:32 PM

@Ramhound Most of time superuser isn't helpful at all. If one can't understand a detailed question, the first response is that it is low quality

THis shows tendancy of bigotry

For example,

I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on Toshiba C55t-A laptop. In its Windows 8.1, I downloaded 4GB Windows 8.1 iso file, and burnt it to a 4.5GB DVD, by right lick the iso file and select "Burn disc image ..." to burn it to the DVD. Then I shut down Windows 8.1, and insert the DVD into the laptop,...

(I am busy installing Ubuntu now, so pardon me that I will continue later)

Here you wrote at https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/89834
"Why didn’t you use Rufus to create the installation disk? You need to use Rufus to make the disk bootable ", and then "Why didn’t you use Rufus to create the installation disk? You need to use Rufus to make the disk bootable "

It is very confusing from your comments whether to use Rufus. The link you gave to Media Tool is for Windows 10, while I am only installing 8.1

Just now, I happened to find out the reason I can't boot into flash drive, is because of insydeH20 which enables secure boot in the boot options screen.

Since I am not familiar with Toshiba laptop, insydeH20 and Widnows, and the confusions from their combinations, I have to install Ubuntu bare metal now. Because of that, and I am not sure if the cause of problem with DVD boot is also due to enabling secure boot,, I won't comment on why I couldn't boot into DVD

My post mentioned possible causes, bootloader, bootable DVD. You only suggested bootable DVD, and then you and the moderator looked down upon my posts, because of bully downvotes and close votes, and then suspend my account for a year.

I am helpless, so turn to Superuser.com, in hope of meeting knowledgeable and kind people. But my experiences here have been receiving bully (downvotes, and close votes)

the moderators also join the force of bullying, suspended me multiple times, looking down upon my posts and me, saying nasting things about me

I reflect my experiences at superuser.com, I think this site is most of time unhelpful, and most of time full of bully who do not have a bit williness of trying to understand others' confusions.

although there are still good people who hang around, but they don't show up as often as bullies.

This remind me of another post

Q: How can I create an account on a laptop with Windows 8 without logging into it?

I found an old laptop from a dumpster. It runs Windows 8, and I can start it, but I don't have the password of its user. Can I create a new account to use the installed Windows 8, of make Windows 8 reinstall itself (I don't have any installation CD of Windows 8 or other Windows OS, but only a...

You originally pointed me to your reply to someother's post superuser.com/a/1024221/9265

where you wrote "This tutorial assumes you know how to create an installation disk, boot to that disk, and enter WinRE which is contained on that disk. This tutorial won't cover how to do that". I don't know about it exactly, so I asked you under my post in a comment, but you didn't point me to a right source, claiming still your reply covered things I asked. THe comments now have been removed, thanks to the mod.

The final solution I found for my case, is someone's reply to the linked post superuser.com/a/1376969/9265

I upvoted and thanked him.. I was happy to find some working solution from some other people, although have been misunderstood by you.

I won't be able to post here any more, because of the bigotry, bully from both regular users and moderators at superuser.com. One thing I hope you can understand is you are privilledged and it can make many things a lot easier to you than to those who are unfornnately not privlleged

@DavidPostill I also mean you

@Tim - I never replied to you because after one question in a comment that was answered you asked another and another. It was clear you were going to ask several follow up questions in the comment section

Bigotry is a huge accusation. Which is another reason I stopped replying or even attempting to answer your questions.

By the way I only downvoted your worst offenders (the questions that were not well researched) and brought it to the moderators attention to help you avoid additional downvotes.

The answers i linked to provided all the information you needed to make a bootable Windows 8.1 installation media

4:53 PM

@Tim You have a history of posting poor quality questions.

@Ramhound Bigotry is accurate description. I said bigotry after I was suspended, how on earth you could stop answering after I lost speech freedom?

@Ramhound Also because of bigotry and being privilleged, you could claim anything as not well researched you want

I wasn’t even are of your suspension until an hour ago.

you can't even provide a non-contradicotry or working solution to my posts, but yet could claim my posts not well researche

@Ramhound you brought that to mod attention, regardless chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/49085021#49085021

i stopped engaging due to your never ending follow up questions in the commentary section. My links to past answers were meant to guide you to a solution.

@DavidPostill as one of the bigots and self entitled, you can claim any post as poor quality

@Ramhound I reflect on our communication, and I think it is the best you do so. Your comments were neither constructive nor polite.

4:58 PM

I am sorry you felt I wasn’t polite

You can think of yourself as a lovely polite angel

that wasn’t my intention.

@Tim I did not vote on any of your posts. The downvotes are an indication by members of the community that your questions "do not show any research, are unclear or not useful"

that won't change what has happened to me

i am not going around calling people bigots.

4:59 PM

@Ramhound Because you are. Because you are not bullied, because you are not suspended based on discrimiation

@Tim. Please stop with the insults.

@DavidPostill How about you reflected on your abuse of mod power?

@Tim Second warning.

Well, if you were told you did wrong, you could do anything to suffocate others speech rights?

Is there any democracy here?

@Tim You do not have a right to free speech on Stack Exchange.

5:03 PM

@DavidPostill there are many bullies in this community. You are encoruging them to do more

@DavidPostill I do when it comes to bully and abuses
