Windows 8 Setup error at 89%

iiTzPkTime · Jan 25, 2014

hi everyone , i have a toshiba satellite p875-s7310 that i bought 5 months ago , it came with windows 8 pre-installed. it started to become slow and laggy so i decided to completely remove all partitions and do clean install.
i have downloaded windows 8.1 iso from the internet and usded rufus to create a bootable gpt scheme for uefi , it boots normally at uefi mode and setup goes fine tll getting files ready to install at 89%. it gives me error "unexpected error make sure the source installation files are accessiable and restart the installation" error 0Xc0000005.
here what i have tried:-
i have restarted over 10 times with difffrent verisons(8.1 pro/enterprise and others) without luck.
i tried the csm mode and tried both ahci and ide but it never boots.
i redownloed the iso again and tried the same process without luck.
so i gave up on windows 8 and tried to install windows 7 and a new problem poped up.
the windows 7 boots at uefi mode only and it get stuck at windows logo just after windows is loaded files screen, i tried to mess with the bios,reset bios, redownload iso and no luck at all.

so any help? thx

You should try getting a DVD/USB installation drive to install Windows 8. Some files might be corrupted. Also, don't use RUFUS.
Use: http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe
This application is made by Microsoft for making installation drives.
DON"T GET SCARED OF THE NAME "WINDOWS 7"!
It works for Windows 8 aswell. Just get the .iso and insert it.
Also, if USB doesn't work, try using DVD. It didn't work for me when I used USB.

I found this problem too. and solve it by.... MUST INSTALLATION in GPT disk partition only

I believe cause of this problem is DISK PARTITION TYPE, during windows install its will ask you to choose partition to install. If we delete all partitions and create new the windows will set it to MBR (this is problem). Because if you look below notice they said "can not install to this partitions, accept only GPT type". So I delete all partition and no create one, let it empty entire disk, then NEXT start install to entire disk. After install complete will find to resize and create partition later.

GPT partition can resize and create partition easy, you can shrink drive C: to new one and create empty partition as you want in a minute. I do from This PC > Manage > Disk management

Good luck
