Hard Drive Will Not Boot

[PeterOz]

What are you using it for.
The M2 should be C drive.
Did you try post#43?

Yes - i would use that as the boot drive.

i have not yet done post 43…searching for the video card driver.

[PeterOz]

earching for the video card driver.

Click On Me

[PeterOz]

In my opinion the M3 Should work
the model number is
[HEADING=2]MZ-V7S2T0B/AM[/HEADING]
The Compatible list for the mb shows
970 EVO Plus-MZ-V7S2T0BW
Can’t find anything to show the difference

Also since you have 64gb of space on the sd card
create a folder AFTER the install tool has finished called drivers.
Go Click on me make sure it says win 10 and download the drivers.
Before doing any install, it is a good idea to go to the support page for your system. Download the drivers you are going to need i.e. chipset, sound, video, wireless, etc. WhilstWin10 has a lot of native drivers, Microsoft drivers are designed for ease of use and are NOT designed for any type of performance. Store these drivers on another usb or you can even just make a folder on your install usb when you are finished making the install usb. Copy the drivers into that folder.

When you are finished with the Windows install, then install your drivers.

Reboot after installing the drivers

IF IN DOUBT DO NOTHING AND COME BACK HERE

Finally had a second to do this…the installer gets to the process of Installing Udates and crashes with the error of
Windows could not update registry data in the installation.

This is the second time it’s happend to me, after the first time I hit Shift+F10 and opened command prompt then used disk part to ensure the 8TB drive was formatted as GPT

And tried again, but same error as the result.

I know you checked with diskpart for gpt
Let’s give the drive a clean
NB this will wipe all data from the drive
Boot from Win 10 install usb
When you get to the startup screen (pic attached)
Press Shift + F10 key
you should get a X:> prompt
What is in blue you type in red you do
e.g Enter press enter key
[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Diskpart [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]list disk [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Select disk n [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter (n=the disk you wish to convert)

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]clean [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]convert gpt [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]exit [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]exit [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter

can you continue with the install now ?[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

Yeppers - same result of failing on the Installing updates part.[/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color]

Maybe faulty HDD? and that could be why the clone failed.
Connect disk as an external to a working computer.
Download the standard edition of crystal disk and test.

I thought you were trying to install windows onto the 8tb

@Bruce @Pyro @Evan Omo any of you guys got an idea of what else to try.
@BobGoblin I don’t suppose you own a copy of Ghost by any chance.
