I have an Aorus X570 system running Fedora 32 without issue and I’ve just puchased an SSD to install Windows onto, a Crucial MX500. I created a Windows 10 USB Flash drive and boot of that. I get into the Windows installer, select the SSD that I want to install on and it starts the installation process. It chugs away for some time and then fails with error code 0x80070570.
I tried creating the installation media several times, reformatting the SSD, and even taken the SSD out of may laptop fitted this new one into and tried the installation on that. It too fails with the same error code.
Any ideas what this could be? The SSD seems fine as I can format it as ext4 under Fedora and it works fine, it just doesn’t seem to like Windows?
Yes, this is the output after the most recent installation attempt:

Installation got to the “Getting files ready for installation” step, it reached 78% and gave me error code 0x8007025D, which is different from last time.
Searching for this error I found some posts saying that others had encountered this error and they had tracked it down to the USB flash drive they were using and it somehow corrupting the data. Several of the reports were from people using PNY USB3.0 flash drives, I’m using one of these. Several people said that using a different drive resulted in a sucessful install. I have a Kingston Flash Drive so I’m going to create yet another install drive and try again…
Did you remove all partition entries and let Windows create its own? Because that partition table looks suspicious. I don’t see any EFI System on it and the Microsoft Reserved is only 16M?
I had that issue when i didn’t use Rufus USB to format to be bootable. I also suggest you pull from iso format. Same reason. This is what I had to do to get it to work properly. I also believe I went with FAT32.
Anyone else experience this issue? Currently hitting a failed Windows install (error code: 0x8007025D) at 69% every time.
Ryzen 5 7600X
Asus Prime B650-Plus
Team Group 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5
HP EX900 256GB NVMe SSD
I have tried:
different USB flash drives
different RAM (previously Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 kit)
enabling/disabling DOCP for RAM
different SSDs
I’ve also tried using the partition editor in the Windows installer to create an ~32GB primary partition and install on that (following old forum posts elsewhere)–no luck.
