Fresh M.2 gives error code on windows installation

[Ehrix]

I keep getting this error code when windows installs about 60% of the way through:  "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x8007025D". Is the bootdrive im using to install windows bad? I also just tried to clone my old drive using arconis and it just didnt work. After selecting my destination disk it would just go back to the selection tool menu.

From the post on this, it does sound like an issue with either SSD or motherboard. I'm also 100% positive that've seen the same error code in the past with some bad OCZ ssd's. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/error-code-0x8007025d-shown-while-trying-to-clean/897417a4-dcd7-4be4-92c6-25f35959c735

 

Try another M.2 slot. If you got any old sata drives installed in the pc, try removing those while installing windows.

Ok so the issue was something I saw in a post somewhere and it said that PNY usb sticks just struggle to install windows for some reason and when I changed USB stick to a different brand it worked perfectly. I was originally using a PNY usb stick
