PC WONT INSTALL ANY OS (apart from linux)

[Hannibal1694]

PLEASE HELP!!!

Ive been struggling with this for weeks.

 

I recently attempted a clean install of windows XP (wanted to play Red alert 2) on my old tower, Did all the usual wiped HDD. When I began the install however I received BSOD after hours of troubleshooting to no avail I decided to try a different OS. However no matter what windows version I try it will not install the OS. I'm getting error code 0x80070570 tried troubleshooting that (Didn't Work). I will list the steps I have taken so far. As a side note i have tried linux and it DOES work (I Just don't like linux)

 

- checked the RAM

- Changed BOOT USB

- Updated BIOS

- Reset BIOS to factory

- Tried every OS under the sun

- Tried install without GPU or any other unneeded peripherals

- Tried install in both SATA operations (RAID Autodetect/ATA and RAID On)

- Tried install in OS install setting in BIOS

- Even tried both X64 and X86 install exact same thing happens on both

- CMD F/disk, Clean, Clean All etc

 

My PC Model is a

Dell Dimensions e520

Intel Core 2 6300@1.86GHz 2mb cache

EM64T

3gb DDR2 RAM

250gb WDC Drive

ASUS AMD Radeon 5450 w/heatsink

 

I'm really at a loss if you need any more info let me know. I thank you in advance. You guys are my only hope.

Perhaps your installation media is corrupted? maybe try download a fresh iso and chuck it on a usb?

[Hannibal1694]

Ive tried the official os windows 10 and created bootable usb using microsoft usb tool and still nothing.

 

[TR0J4N]

can you check the hard drives SMART report? boot in Linux see if the HDD is failing?

[Hannibal1694]

ill try that now and get back to you. cheers dude

Could be corrupt media since when you install Linux it works fine.

smart report says the HDD was a pass couldnt find any errors in the log
