Lenovo with completely formatted C drive won't recognize bootable USB
So one day I accidentally formatted the whole of my laptop's C drive, Luckily, my dad handed me down one of his so now I was thinking, maybe if I used some sort of joint spacedesk array I could have a dual screen display? But the thing is, the computer has no files in it. Absolutely nothing. Not even a Windows folder. It's the equivalent of literally erasing every single file from your computer. Of course, I didn't do it on purpose, I was trying to downgrade my laptop from a broken Windows 10 to a fixed, fresh Windows 8. So now I'm trying my best to resurrect it. The E2B usb I made works perfectly, and will install Windows XP on your computer. But however, for some reason, my laptop decides to ignore it fully… I think if I stick it in there long enough, it will boot, because eventually I could feel the USB getting hotter, but that's for later. Please help me out I don't wanna buy another 4k TV
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Hi @realblueblue
Did you try enabling USB Legacy or CSM in BIOS to see if it will boot from a USB stick?

Yes,I have tried disabling Secure boot and resetting the PK keys. But I don't know how to start CSM simulation.

@realblueblue verify that your computer is a Lenovo Ideapad 100S-11IBY 11.6". How do you know this "The E2B usb I made works perfectly, and will install Windows XP on your computer."? Your USB drive is bootable?

@oldturkey03 the build in the BIOS says so... The E2B drive works because I could boot it off QEMU. I tried booting some ISOs off QEMU and they didn't work. The drive, however, works fine. I used a SanDisk cruiser blade.
