Windows 10: Errors Installing Windows 10 from USB Drive

Processor: 8th Gen i5 8500, Motherboard MSI Mortar Z370M

I have tried to install Windows 10 using a USB drive on this newly built rig and am completely stumped.
For Background:
1. I have attempted the install using two different thumb drives.
2. I have used 3 different methods to create the .iso. These are Microsoft Media Creation Tool, Rufus 3.3 and Windows Download Tool Installer. In Rufus, where I was given an option of what format to use, I have tried GPT/UEFI and MBR/Legacy modes
3. I have attempted theinstall on two different disk drives, a SSD and a mechanical Hard drive (both are installed inside the box)
4. The system boots from the thumb drive and begins the installation process. It indicates 100% of files copied (almost immediately) and then begins the process of preparing files. It gets anywhere from 15% complete to as much as 80% complete but always bombs at some point during the process. The error messages are often different but all point to an I/O issue. Some of the error codes are 08007025D, 080070006, 080070570.
5. I originally started with a Gigabyte Motherboard and swapped it out for the MSI fearing that the motherboard was the issue. This did not solve the problem.
6. I have tried both Bios Mode and UEFI mode from within the motherboard settings
7. In an effort to further isolate the problem, I attempted to install linux mint using a similar process. It runs fine when booted from the thumb drive and allows me to mount the harddrives and save data to them, but bombs with an I/O error when I try to install it to hard drive.
8. I have run chkdsk and both fast and slow format on both thumb drives looking for errors.
9. I have tried multiple versions of the iso files for both mint and windows and checked the ISO's for integrity

Help!!!

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

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
