  1. Not able to do a clean installation. Error code: 0x80070057.


    I am trying to install a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on a Samsung MZ-V7E500BW 970 EVO 500 GB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive which is installed in a Asus Z97-A motherboard with latest BIOS.


    The SSD has been installed in the M2 slot. M2 slot set as activate as PCI-E.


    Secure boot has been disabled and the keys cleared


    Set to other OS (not Windows UEFI)


    Boot priory confirmed as Samsung 970 EVO.


    All other SATA drives disconnected.

    Trying to install Windows 10 Pro from a UEFI USB created media (from MS media creation tool), tried both in USB2 & 3 port. Also have tried the DVD way but couldn't load the NVMe drivers from the disc.


    Error messages are one of the following if Windows 10 happens to find the drive 0x80070057, 0x80004005, 0x80070001, 0x80300002.

    I have also tried using the diskpart command (via Shift F10 command prompt etc) to select the drive and clean it so that I can select the unallocated space and click next to install Windows but still get any of the above errors (mainly 0x80070057) when it moves onto the next stage.


    Can somebody suggest a way to get Windows 10 installed on this drive with this motherboard or could the drive be faulty.

  2. 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.

    Windows Update gives error code 0x80070057


    Too bad that didn't work *Sad

    Try a clean startup:

    Launch System Configuratiion (msconfig)

    on the Services tab:
    Not able to do a clean installation. Error code: 0x80070057. [​IMG]
    Hide all Microsoft servicesPress the [Disable all] button

    on the Startup tab: Press Open Task Manager
    Disable all items listed
    Close Task Manager
    Press [Ok] on the System Configuration window

    Restart your machine
    Try a manual Windows Update from Settings -> Update and Recovery (not Control Panel)

    The issue might be HW related.

    A few other suggested fixes were to run wsreset

    This might have more affect (works on Win10, not just Win8.x)
    Store - Re-register in Windows 8 and 8.1

    Try all three and test an update.
