Hoping for some help - Running EasyRE Partition editor - I see I have flags/warnings/triangles on 2 partitions (1) EFI System partition (100MB) and (2) Microsoft Reserved Partition (16 MB). The Windows partition is frozen at 118GB even though there is 280GB of unallocated disk space (and I would like to increase the size of the Windows disk

Is anyone else having USB boot problems after running EasyRE?
 
It sounds like the partition issues might be blocking your boot. Try running a disk check or using bootrec from a Windows recovery environment to fix the partitions. Also, double check the boot order in your BIOS and make sure your USB is properly formatted with the right boot files.

Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.
 
If you're unable to boot Windows 11 from a USB after using EasyRE, it could be due to changes made to your system's boot configuration or settings. EasyRE may have altered the bootloader or affected the boot sequence. To resolve this, start by accessing your BIOS/UEFI settings and ensure the USB boot option is enabled and prioritized in the boot order. If the USB is still not recognized, recreate the bootable USB using tools like Rufus or the Media Creation Tool to ensure it is properly configured. Additionally, use the Command Prompt in Windows Recovery (accessible via installation media) to repair the bootloader by running commands like bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot. If the issue persists, consider resetting the BIOS to its default settings and ensuring Secure Boot or Legacy Boot modes are correctly configured based on your system's requirements.
