Windows 10: Getting 0x80070006 - 0x90018 while trying to make Installation Media for Windows 10 Home...

I purchased Windows 10 Home for a new PC build. Using my work laptop Win 10 Enterprise 64 bit, I'm trying to create Installation Media USB for Windows 10 in the Media Creation Tool provided by the Microsoft website. Once I select the USB, I get the above error.

Error code: 0x80070006 - 0x90018 Windows Installation Media

Hey there, I've recently gotten a virus on my PC. I tried all solutions until I gave up and went to reinstall Windows on there. I got another laptop x64 which is the same, used the Windows Media Creation Tool. When I did everything right to the USB Flash
drive part, I get an error saying "There was a problem running this tool" Error code: 0x80070006 - 0x90018. I tried everything else like trying to "Unblock" when I click properties, however I couldn't find and was not sure if it was actually unblocked. Any
solutions?

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

Hi Norman. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP here to help you.

Try downloading the Media Creation Tool from this link to the flashstick and run it from there; strange fix works often:

If not use another PC or this alternate download site:

Burn to DVD using WIndows Image Burner or create bootable flash using one of the options here:

Follow these steps which compile the best possible Clean Install of Windows which will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given, has zero reported problems, and is better than any amount of money could buy:

Make sure during the booted install to follow the illustrated steps to delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, then click Next to let it auto-create the needed partitions, format them and begin install - this makes it foolproof.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post helped you, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
