Windows 10 Install: Resets after restart at end of install
I had a problem with my Windows 10 install being corrupted, so I used the official Creation Tool to create a USB install. It worked fine and I formatted the HDD then continued with the install. At the end it says that it needs to restart to continue, but after the restart it just resets the whole process from the beginning.
If I unplug the USB during the restart/boot into the HDD manually after the restart, it says to select correct boot media (something like that.) But I can see via the USB Creation Tool that the install did create several Win10 partitions on the HDD.
I thought it was a problem with my mobo boot order, but I've tried booting straight to the HDD and back to the creation tool with no success. Any ideas?

Let it restart and do its own thing, it may not have even completed the install, it does say it will restart a few times.
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear enough, when it restarts it goes back to the beginning of the creation tool, as in when you select to install, repair, etc.
Then go into BIOS and select the correct boot device to be primary like the HDD or SSD you installed it on.
Mentioned in OP, when I do that it says there's nothing to boot/to insert bootable media. As if there is nothing on the HDD.
