Installing windows on frankenstein system, having issues.

[komsire22]

Trying to get a new system together to replace my parent's older dell tower. Using some of my old parts and I'm running into some real issues getting windows to install on a new SSD.

 

Here are as many specs as I can provide from memory, posting from work:

ASRock 970M Pro3

Ripjaws, 8GB i believe

AMD FX8350

NVidia gtx 710 1gb

450W PSU

PNY 240GB SSD

 

The errors I keep getting are these:

"Error code 0x80070002"

"Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms"

Something about a "missing media driver"

 

All of these errors seem arbitrary, as if I restart the windows installation process I am allowed to progress past where the previous error occured. The farthest I have gotten is 6% on the "getting files ready for installation" stage. It is 64bit windows 10 i believe, as whenever I select 32bit it restarts the prompt until i select 64.

 

Thanks for the help, and I will provide any additional information I can.

Are you using a retail .ISO? I'm wondering if the key for that Windows 10 install may have been used. Can you try a different .ISO? Or redownload and reinstall the .ISO to your boot media? I don't know too much about the key system anymore, I only remember having to call MS all the time when installing Windows XP to the machines we'd refurbish (that was pain).

Im using one that's already had the serial used. I was just going to see if I could get it to install at all without the serial but I'll just get a new iso on a new usb and give it a try. Other ideas? I want to try and eliminate as many possibilities in one evening of troubleshooting as possible!
