Move ur game to an internal drive
The error you're seeing, "Boot device verification failure," is typically related to issues with your system's boot process. Given that you're using an external disk drive, there are a few potential reasons and solutions you can try:
Possible Causes
1. Drive Connection Issues: The connection between your external drive and your computer might be unstable or faulty.
2. Boot Order in BIOS/UEFI: Your computer's BIOS/UEFI might not be configured to boot from the external drive properly.
3. Corrupted Boot Files: The boot files on your external drive might be corrupted.
4. Drive Issues: There might be an issue with the external drive itself, such as bad sectors or a failing drive.
Steps to Troubleshoot
#### 1. Check the Connection
- Ensure the USB Connection: Make sure the USB cable connecting your external drive is securely connected. Try using a different USB port or cable if available.
- Avoid USB Hubs: Connect the drive directly to your computer instead of through a USB hub.
#### 2. Adjust BIOS/UEFI Settings
- Access BIOS/UEFI: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, F12, Del, or Esc during startup).
- Check Boot Order: Ensure that the external drive is listed and prioritized correctly in the boot order settings.
- Enable USB Boot: Make sure the option to boot from USB devices is enabled.
#### 3. Repair Boot Files
- Use Windows Recovery: If you're using Windows, boot from a Windows installation USB or DVD, and use the recovery options to repair the boot files.
- Select "Repair your computer."
- Go to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Repair."
#### 4. Check the Drive
- Run Diagnostic Tools: Use a diagnostic tool to check the health of your external drive. Many manufacturers provide their own tools, or you can use third-party tools like CrystalDiskInfo.
- Check for Errors: If you can access the drive, run a disk check to find and repair errors.
- On Windows, you can use
chkdsk:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type chkdsk X: /f /r (replace X: with the drive letter of your external drive).

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to seek further assistance from technical support forums or a professional technician, especially if the problem is hardware-related.

Moving your game to an internal drive could potentially resolve the "Boot device verification failure" issue. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you move the game from an external drive to an internal drive:
Steps to Move Your Game
#### 1. Free Up Space on Your Internal Drive
Ensure that your internal drive has enough space to accommodate the game. You may need to delete or move some files to free up space.
#### 2. Locate the Game Files
Find the folder where your game is installed on your external drive. Typically, for games like Valorant, this might be in a directory similar to Riot Games or a specific folder you designated during installation.
#### 3. Copy the Game Files
Copy the entire game folder from your external drive to your internal drive. This might take some time depending on the size of the game and the speed of your drives.
#### 4. Update Game Shortcut (Optional)
If you have a desktop shortcut or start menu entry for the game, you may need to update it to point to the new location of the game files.
#### 5. Modify Game Launcher Settings
Depending on the game and its launcher, you might need to update the path within the game launcher settings:
- For Riot Games (Valorant):
1. Open the Riot Games client.
2. Go to the settings menu.
3. Look for an option to change the game installation path and update it to the new location on your internal drive.
#### 6. Verify Game Files
After moving the files and updating the paths, it's a good idea to verify the integrity of the game files. Most game launchers have an option to do this:
- For Riot Games (Valorant):
1. Open the Riot Games client.
2. Go to the Valorant page.
3. Click on the settings icon and select "Repair" or "Verify" to check and repair any missing or corrupted files.
Additional Tips
- Backup Important Data: Before making significant changes, back up any important data to avoid accidental loss.
- Keep External Drive Connected: Initially, keep the external drive connected while making changes to ensure you can access any necessary files.
- Reinstall If Needed: If the above steps do not work, consider uninstalling the game from the external drive and performing a fresh installation directly on the internal drive.
By moving your game to the internal drive, you can bypass potential issues related to external drive connections and boot verification failures. If you encounter any issues during the process, feel free to ask for more specific help!No need to send all that fancy stuff and confuse them
