Windows 10: We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose: 0x80300024

After many (I mean many) failed attempts to install 1709 over the last week, I decided to do a clean install.

Bad luck... also that failed.

Can't do a clean install - tried various times.

My last attempt was to (again) boot from USB (with 1709),
then do : diskpart clean
Reboot
select drive
format
then [next]

"We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive. Here's moreinfo about what happened: 0x80300024"

Is there another solution rather than having to detach all the drives (many), being a complex job as the connectors are difficult to be reached. Microsoft can't expect users to detach the hardware...







the drive is a SSD

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

:)

I resolved my same error by removing any other hard drives you may have plugged in the PC.

It worked like charm and allowed me to install W10 64bit........ Hope this helps.

 

Delete the partition on drive 1, then highlight the unallocated space that will be on drive, then click next.
