    Media Creation Tool v1909 Error code 0x8007003-0xA001B - Need help


    First, I've been trying some of the solutions in this thread, but none have worked, nor did any of the posters provide detailed descriptions of their respective solutions, so I'm reposting for help as my error code was slightly different.

    Here's the brief story: Friend fell for phising ad - phoned and gave personal information - got scared about identity theft - I used the Nwipe 'DoD short' to wipe her computer (windows 7), no problems - used GParted to create the partition table as default msdos as per online instructions - loaded windows 10 onto a bootable usb using the windows setup wizard on my computer - her computer recognized it and started doing its thing. Then the computer shut down for some unknown reason most likely it over heated, as it was running hot, or it could have been a power supply issue as the jack is pretty loose. Then the computer wouldn't recognize or boot the USB, nor would it load windows, so I had to start again. I used the Nwipe quick pass this time, but I started to run into problems trying to put the MCT bootable onto the USB stick again. It got stuck at 61% of the verification process. I eventually got the error code in the subject and I've been trying to problem solve this for hours.

    My problem is not with her computer, so I will not give specs for it. My problem is with my USB stick or my computer, as people in the thread linked at the top experienced.

    I'm running Windows 10 Home on a Dell Latitude E5440. I'm using an old 16G Maxell USB which is probably the slowest variety.

    I've tried:

    1. Simply redownloading the MCT v1909 without changing much else. Ran into this problem.
    2. Downloading the ISO from the setup wizard and creating a bootable USB with it using the Rufus 3.8 tool with: boot selection "Windows ISO"; Image option "Standard Windows Installation"; partition scheme "MBR"; target system "BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)"; File system "NTFS"; cluster size "default". Friend's computer did not recognize it and booted nothing at all.
    3. Quick formatted the disk into Fat32 using the Disk Management tool in Paul's AiO-SRT. Tried again from the beginning creating the bootable USB. Got stuck at 61% as before, and then got even MORE stuck on the "cleaning things up before closing" step. I ended the task with the task manager. Did not get an error code, just froze.

    I will be trying:

    1. Using diskpart to change the partition table. But it was shown by someone else in the linked thread above not to work. Furthermore, Rufus has an MBR option, so I don't understand why that wouldn't work just as well as diskpart.
    2. Getting my brother to make a bootable USB on his computer with his USB stick and seeing if that works.
    3. The last-suggested fix on the above linked thread, but i don't fully understand it. How did the poster "quick format USB drive NTFS"?.... with a disk management tool i guess? And that was for an update on the same computer, so I won't be able to sue the "right click and run as administrator" on my friends computer which currently has nothing on it but 0s.

    Any thoughts?

    :)

    Media Creation Tool v1903 Error 0x80042405-0xA001B

    You can confirm that the usb is not gpt using Diskpart. The command LIST DISK will have a * in the gpt column for any disk or usb that is gpt,

    Ive had exactly the same problem mate several months ago. I thought Id completely cured it when I uninstalled McAfee and used Windows Defender instead. The issue completely went away and Ive used the Media Creation Tool with different USB flash drives a few times with no issues at all. The other week I tried creating a USB flash drive with 1809 and the problem was back...error message at 50% again! Im still using Windows Defender. No GPT partition...flash drive was cleaned, converted to MBR as a precaution and formatted FAT32. At that point I gave up on it MCT creating the media. I just downloaded the ISO, mounted it and copied the files onto the flash drive
