My windows PC says that the Boot Configuration Data is missing

[Windows Central Question]

The PC was working fine then when I went to start it up, boom. I have downloaded the Windows 10 iso file as per instructions. When I start Boot Camp Assistant, the program tells me to remove the external storage device. If I do, I can't make a windows bootable USB. It wants to install on my Mac hard drive. I need a bootable USB to make the necessary repairs to the Windows PC. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. I am confused by your setup. Are you trying to run Windows in a virtual machine in an Apple computer?

What options does Bootcamp give if you do remove the external storage device? If it lets you delete the Windows partition and re-create it (then using your bootable external media) that may be the easiest thing to do.
