  2. Clean Install of Windows 10 from USB giving me error code 0xc000021a before install

    I had Windows 8.1 installed and wanted to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my 120GB SSD. I created a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it. When I try to boot from it, it will read the USB, then after about 10 seconds it gives me a 0xc000021a error.
    I tried booting from the USB on my laptop and it went to the update prompts just fine. I can find plenty of info of the 0xc000021a error code affecting startup, but not an update. I did update using the same USB file without a clean install and it worked,
    but would still like to have a clean install. Any help would be appreciated.

  3. Clean Install of Windows 10 from USB giving me error code 0xc000021a before install

    So I tried updating from the original ISO and it gives me the 0xc000021a error after it restarts for the first time during installation. I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 8.1
    thinking maybe a startup file was corrupted. But after the new 8.1 install, it is still giving me the same 0xc000021a error. Then,
    when it boots back up after the error, it says "0xC1900101 - 0x20017, the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation".

    Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
