Error 0x80070570 when booting windows 7 installation from flash drive?

Last response: in Windows 7
Share

hello all, i am receiving error 0x80070570 at "expanding files" in the windows 7 installation at around 30% into it. Its an attempt to install windows 7 via boot-able usb flash drive.

now something i should mention is that this is a completely new built computer, i built it a couple of days ago.

i have performed the following troubleshooting

-took out ram sticks
-bought a new hdd
-changed the boot order in bios
-after the error occurs going to the beginning of the installation and re-plugging the flash drive and re-trying
- reseating ram sticks
-formatting my hdd
-updating bios


i am sure i have tried other things as well to no avail. im stuck. i thought that maybe the win-7 download was corrupt so i re-downloaded and formated my flash drive to try it over again, still no luck.

i guess i should go ahead and list the specs

8gig ram (2gig's per stick)
phenom II 6 core proccessor
MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard
radeon hd 7950 gpu
Seagate 500gig hdd

im almost positive that its not a hardware issue, my computer powers up, boots normally etc.

if anyone could help it would be very much appreicated!

I assume this isn't a genuine & legal copy of Windows 7, otherwise you would be installing from a retail DVD, not from a pen drive, right?

We don't provide help with illegal software or pirate/modified copies of Windows.

What a douchebag ignorant answer.

The OFFICIAL preferred method of installing Win7 according to Microsoft is to download the ISO from your Microsoft store logon and build a bootable installation Flash drive (which can then be customized and scripted).

Are you still using DVDs to install software in 2012? You must not have a professional IT job, and so you should probably keep your mouth shut when you don't know what you are talking about.

Next time either be helpful when answering questions or go learn something before you accuse people of being criminals.

Yikes - it was just a question - no need to choke the guy to death digitally sheesh. We're not all IT professionals - or even people with computer know-how - this IS a site to get help with your computer - am I not right?? Chill pill man.

Well, the PROBLEM is, it says "Official Windows 7 EXPERT" on this guys profile. Sounds more like "Official Windows 7 Bean Counter, Legalist, Religious Expert on Pencil Pushing and Red Tape.

I've been looking for a solution to this error as well, and I don't want to see BS answers like that when I searh. I signed up here just to tell this guy to get stuffed.
