    gigabyte Z370 HD3 + Samsung EVO 970 won't install Windows 10

    Newly assembled system:

    • Gigabyte Z370 HD3 V1.0 motherboard
    • Intel i7-8700 CPU
    • 2x DDR4-3200 16GB RAM (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)
    • Samsung EVO 970 500 GB M.2 SSD (MZ-V6E500)
    • Thermaltake TR2 S 500 W PSU (TRS-0500P-2)
    • Deepcool Tesseract case (seems doesn't matter)

    All components come new, unpacked.

    Windows 10 Pro installation failed at the step "Getting files ready for installation." when about 70-80% complete.

    I used both the original Windows 10 Pro DVD and a USB stick prepared by a Microsoft tool; the result is the same.

    I tried to use the pre-installation SATA driver from the Gigabyte website.
    Once I installed this driver at the step "Where do you want to install Windows", my M2 drive had disappeared from the list.

    The same situation repeated with another set of components.

    By the way, when I try the same set of components but with an ASUS Z370-P motherboard, there is no problem with Windows 10 installation.

    I still need to assemble some systems with Gigabyte motherboards.

    Update: It was easy to install Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. Same conditions: Gigabyte motherboard, but SATA SSD instead of M2 SSD.

    Any suggestion what to do in order to install Window properly?

    file system error -1073545193

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that you are encountering the error message when you are trying to access any media file in the CD/DVD Drive of your computer.

    This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
    the below given steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type
      sfc/scannow       and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:


    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    system files hundreds of gigabytes but where ???

    Gigabyte Geforce GTX560 Ti Overclocked (900Mhz),

    It will be easier for people to give suggestions if you list the full specs of the system the video card is installed in.
