I am getting error code: 0x8007025D
when installing W10 on 250Gb drive, with BOTH
my W10 installation thumb drive and with a W10 DVD I just made from an ISO file from the Microsoft website. Says cannot install the required files...???

AMD 4-core FX, 8GB ram, WD sata drive, Asus MB with UEFI

Thanks for the suggestions. My bios on the M5A97LE r2.0 MB is 2601, and there is only one newer one.
No real way to turn off secure boot, but tried about 4-6 different settings, and tried another install. All failed.

Took drive and media to another computer that does NOT have UEFI. Still failed. I presume, therefore, the HD is
the problem.

Will wait for the new SSD to arrive, then try again...

New SSD here. Same problem: WIndows cannot find the installation files. This time error code = 0x80070570.

Took new SSD to a computer that does not do UEFI, same problem, just fails at a different percentage of completion.

Downloading W10 iso file for a 3rd time. Cannot believe two different computers and two different installation medias (thumb drive and DVD) both fail in the same manner. Also, now have tried on two different HD's.

???

I hit the reset after failure, then booted to the normal system drive. Looked at partions on new SSD, and all seemed normal. All the normal windows folders had been created...

Just a few questions at the outset...

1. Apparently your WD HDD boot drive boots to the OS without any problems and functions just fine thereafter, right?

2. What's the OS on the HDD? And what's the TOTAL data contents on that drive?

3. I assume you didn't consider cloning the contents of the HDD to your new SSD for one of these reasons...
a. The total data contents of the HDD would not "fit" on the SSD because of the latter's disk-space capacity.
b. You desired a fresh-install of the Win 10 OS on the SSD, possibly because there's a different OS on the HDD.

Which is it? Or is there another reason?

4. Presumably both the HDD & the SSD are MBR-partitioned, yes?

5. What's the make/model of the SSD?

6. Finally, when you attempted to install the Win 10 OS on the SSD, was the HDD uninstalled or disconnected from the system at that time? If not, do so and try again to install the OS.

upgraded BIOS to latest, M5A97LE r2.0 ver 2701
made another iso image using another computer, it completed, burned and verified the DVD.
Brought DVD back to this computer with UEFI, installed new SSD, and proceeded to install W10
again using custom install. Deleted all the partitions, then W10 made a new disk.
Part way through the getting ready (up to over 60%) it fails and tells me it cannot find installation files.

Not sure what to do now...

Artpog,

Thanks. Yes computer works just fine with MBR HD from another computer, all these we are talking about all have W10 on them.

The M5A97 combined with W10 wants to do UEFI, so every attempt on a fresh drive makes 4 partitions.

So, now two problems: original SSD UEFI HD will not boot after Restart mode using AOMEI Backupper;
and problem 2: cannot even make a fresh W10 SSD with new SSD of same size (240Gb SanDisk). Original problem drive was Kingston 240Gb(never a problem until Backupper was run).

I wonder if this might work on an old HP running W7. That computer has run fine for years now...
