Windows is Unable to install. Error: 0x80300024
Hello ROG, I come to you as a new ROG user, with a troubleing dilemma.
I spent around 4-6 hours carefully reading, checking over, and having other more experienced builders guide me through the build of my newest rig. However, upon everything being correctly installed, I am faced with such an odd predicament.
Windows, will not install.... It will give me the error message
Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error:0x80300024
I have spent this entire weekend searching the net and reading the manuals provided, to no avail. Please if anyone has any insight to the problem I am having, help me.
My Rig Specs:
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus Radeon HD 7770 2GB Video Card
NZXT Phantom (White/Red) ATX Full Tower Case
PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W 80 PLUS Silver Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Another odd thing to note, is I can load into the windows setup, it will not hang or get stuck, Although it did before. Now it will allow me to chose a drive to write windows to, and it will load for a bit only to give me that error, then if I choose
advanced > new
attempting to format, or even attempting to select the drive again, it is no longer there, I reboot once go into the bios, and the drive is not found at all.
A second/third reboot allows the drive to be located, and the cycle repeats...
I started troubleshooting this around 9am today, and it's not 6pm and no progress. Please, I am getting very frustrated with this....
If anyone has any advice, please help me.
Mind you this is a fresh machine, with no previous OS at all.
