Event Log Error 441 - failer to migrate HDD during install

I had the same problem. The following solved the problem. This is the answer I got from the community earlier.

As per your query there are two possible issue with your Drive:

1. The HDD drive has to be updated.

2. The hard drive has not been allocated in disk management.

I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if you can resolve the issue.

Step 1:

1. Open Run Command (Windows button +R), a dialog box will open type "diskmgmt.msc".

2. Disk management window will open, check if there is a yellow exclamation mark besides the HDD drive. If so I would suggest that you update the driver.

If you do not locate the yellow exclamation mark follow the step below

Step 2: In the same disk management window, check if the HDD drive has been named/allocated. If not follow the steps below:

1. Right-click it on the HDD and select “New Volume.” This will open a Setup Wizard.

2. Click on the on screen instruction and select and allocate a name for the drive.

3. Restart your system and check if the issue persist.
