Do you have another computer you can make a bootable windows USB from?

Had this error before, it's the most annoying one I ever had.

Tried a million things, reinstalling windows completely was the easiest.

 

If you don't want to do that, you can try to switch UEFI to legacy or the other way around.

Only if you have a blank partition cause windows formats the drive before you install the OS.

 

But if you have the install disk of USB you can boot from it and instead of installing it you can repair it from that disk.
