Windows 10: Windows Install not working on Clean Hard drive SSD

Hi I've spent the last few hours trying to work out what is going on here: maybe someone can help?


I've got a brand new Kingston SSD and trying to get Windows install on it my old SSD works absolutely fine, and I can plug it back up and boot Windows fine on my custom pc


I have used the Windows Installation/Media creation tool, FAT32 usb flash drive my MSI motherboard requires FAT32


I have tried booting from USB in two main ways: with the new SSD connected, and without the new SSD connected, I get the same error in both scenarios:


I see various bugs occurring, the main one being that the Windows logo freezes on a black background, and then gradually over the course of about a minute about 8 or 9 white pixels appear at random places on the black screen, and then nothing else happens.


A second bug occurs sometimes though I'm not sure exactly when: a sort of yellow buggy screen appears with strange yellow horizontal lines and other colours of pixels and lines; This stays for about three seconds and then I might be taken to the MSI Bios screen, or to the above bug depending on boot order basically;


I have set the USB flash drive as the boot drive followed by the new hard drive; and tried a few other orders. I have also tried taking out one of the RAM to try and force a reset of the settings; I have not yet tried clearing CMOS.


Just to clarify, I have used the Windows media creation tool successfully and properly to generate a 4.55 GB set of files on my USB drive which includes things like setup, autorun, boot folder, etc. I have also tried a second external drive just to make sure.


It just seems like a unique problem because I have Googled 'frozen logo' with 'white pixels' / 'dots' appearing, for Windows installation but I didn't see anything similar.


I installed my last version of Windows absolutely fine on the previous SSD, and using the same flash drive but it was a different Installation Media download, i.e. an old one, not the latest one; As I say, the PC worked absolutely fine, and still does if I plug the old hard drive back in. I thought it would be just as easy as last time but something is obviously not working, whether that is the MSI motherboard or some combination of everything?

Windows Vista Clean Installation

To do a clean install on a fresh hard drive with Vista on an upgrade disc, you have to follow certain steps. Buying a full install CD would've been easier, but using the upgrade disc only adds more time, so it's not that big of a deal.

Follow the instructions here to do a clean install with an upgrade disc: Perform a Clean Install with a Vista Upgrade Disc | Windows Vista Tips / Tricks /Tutorials | Vista Rewired

How do I unlock the drive where Windows 10 is installed?

 

cant install windows 8 on my cruciall ssd drive

Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion. You can actually access the command prompt from inside the Windows installer, then run DiskPart and do a Clean command on the drive.
