Error while installing Windows 10

Hey guys,

 

I need your help if possible.

My pc has 2 HDD's and now a SSD inside.

On one of the HDD's there is still Windows 10 installed.

I want to install my System now on the new SSD and while doing this I always get an error code: 0x8007025D Message is like "A file is missing and Windows can not be installed"

The file is the original windows.iso and I installed it on a virtual machine recently, so this can't be the issue.

I want to install from a USB stick that I made bootable with "Universal USB Installer 1.9.8.0".

 

After installing Windows on the SSD, I want to delete and clear my HDD where Windows is installed right now.

 

What I've done before:

  • Using MdSched to see if there is any problem with my ram.

 

I'd be very thankful if you can help me installing my first SSD.

:-)

I have no idea what that "universal usb installer" tool is or why you needed to make it bootable...

Clearly you're doing things the wrong way.

There is an official tool from microsoft which creates a bootable USB drive with windows for you.

Try using the Windows Media Creation tool to create your bootable SSD.  Disconnect all drives with the exception of the SSD, then use the tool to install windows on the SSD.  When done with the installation, then you can reconnect the other drives and format the one you want to clean.

UUI is not a wrong way to make a bootable USB drive. I use it all the time as it’s easier than the shitty Microsoft tool.

Clearly it is the wrong way if it is not working correctly.

And how can anything be easier than using the microsoft tool??

You literally double click you USB drive and click next and it does everything for you.

Except you have to have a bunch of space, even if you already have the ISO downloaded, and it's slow to start. UUI launches from a portable EXE file (no installation) and has many more options, and can even install Windows onto a USB drive for Windows to Go. Try doing that with the MS utility. As for it not working, I've only ever had that happen (out of thousands of times I've used it, seriously) with a bad USB drive or bad ISO.

No...

It downloads windows as it installs it on the USB drive...

You just need a 4GB USB drive and that's it.

The media installation tool is literally just an EXE file that runs and installs windows on the USB, it doesn't require any installation.

 

Maybe try installing windows the correct way next time and you may learn a thing or two about the official media installation tool.

I'm aware of how it works. I've used it plenty too. You can't use it with your own ISO, so if you already have one, oh well, you'll still need enough space to download another. Pointless. It's not as fast to use as UUI though. Also, you can't make a portable Windows drive with the MS utility.

Download the tool.  Insert a blank flashdrive into your machine.  The flashdrive must be at least 4 gigs in size, preferably more if possible.  After inserting the blank flashdrive, execute the downloaded file, follow the on-screen instructions and just go with the flow.  The only requirement is that you just follow the instructions.

 

Don't forget to disconnect all drives EXCEPT the drive you are installing windows on to.  Piece of cake, pie, or whatever tastes good.  Personally I prefer a large bowl of chocolate ice cream.  Unfortunately it has to be diet chocolate because I'm diabetic.

 

Good luck.

That doesn't mean I'm an Apple fanboy though. Sure, I have a lot of their computers (7 iMacs, etc.), but I'm not a fanboy. It's my profile picture because that Apple logo looks really good as a profile picture. I mainly use Windows and Linux computers.

MCT has has severe issues for past maybe 4 months. Notable being connection issues with Windows update servers. If one has ISO, other tools work as well.

You format it as part of "burning" process.
