What is going on everyone got a video here
to share with all of you of this error code
that I'm receiving trying to reinstall Windows
10 Pro 64-bit Edition on my desktop computer
so let me zoom in here on the screen and get
into a little more detail about what I got
going on and will quickly get to that error
code and I'm going to show you a method of
how I'm correcting mine so I'm booted from
a USB flash drive right now to install Windows
so I'm going to go ahead and click install
here once you get into this screen now this
is where I'm getting the error code let me
show you real quick it's on this drive which
is my main drive a lot of yours stuff right
now you folks that are watching it might look
completely different than mine in here I have
a mixture of different hard drives but this
is my main one it's drive 2 partition 1 when
I click format you can see I have that one
selected so it's formatting that particular
drive it does format okay and then when I
click next to install Windows I get this error
code down here this is 0x80300024 whatever
there's a few different things that could
be causing this issue and here's where the
issue can be for some of you people if you
want to one method that works for some people
as you shutdown your computer and you disconnect
all your hard drives except the hard drive
that you want to install Windows on and you
only have one drive showing up now if you
only have one hard drive it should be drive
0 because that is the very first drive and
sometimes just disconnecting all these additional
hard drives tends to fix that error code however
for my situation here that is not the particular
issue so I'm going to reboot my computer real
quickly and we're going to get into the system
BIOS or UEFI okay so here is a look at the
inside of my BIOS so up here you can see it
says BIOS mode UEFI or Legacy I'm going to
go into my settings and again this is going
to be different from for some of you but a
lot of times the issue lies and where you
boot where you have your boot priority set
up so what I'm going to do is my particular
board allows me to choose Legacy or UEFI right
here I’m going to choose UEFI because with
Windows 10 64-bit it will work together the
UEFI bios works together with the thumb drive
and windows installer to format correctly
I'm changing I'm all I'm doing is simply changing
the boot mode here and I'm going to go over
to the X and I'm going to save this I'm going
to click yes and we'll give it a minute and
we're going to jump back into that screen
again where the error code was it should have
rebooted back to this screen here like it's
going to start all over again I'm going to
quickly jump through this and get back to
the Windows setup screen okay so I'm back
here to the Windows setup screen and now that
we made those changes in the system UEFI or
bios going to go down here and select the
drive of course where I want to install Windows
and it says Windows cannot be installed now
on the drive partition 1 show details Windows
cannot be installed on this disk because this
disk has an MBR partition table on EFI systems
windows can only be installed on GPT disks
this is formatted right now for MBR which
is an older style that works with Legacy and
that's the master boot record that works with
like a system bios so if you have an older
motherboard or more of a legacy system the
original way here in the very first time we
went through Windows probably would have installed
just fine but because my BIOS is a UEFI bios
it's going to work in conjunction with you
know installing it to with Windows installer
here in conjunction with setting this drive
up and formatting it properly so right now
you guys will notice that there's only one
two three four five items in here what I need
to do now to fix this and get rid of the error
message is delete this because it's still
holding on to the old one we created with
the old original bios settings or UEFI settings
originally so I'm going to delete it and I
want to select drive 2 its unallocated space
which is fine so we're going to click new
and we're going to format this thing correctly
now under the new instructions from the BIOS
UEFI you'll see it longer you're going to
see some new things pop up in here that are
important for the installation of Windows
on the drive so now I have a slider over here
and you can see I have drive 2 has like a
4 partitions we have a recovery partition
and you cannot install Windows on that because
this partition is a Microsoft recovery partition
so these are created these 4 partitions are
created to work with Windows specifically
this partition is an EFI system partition
so now I know I have the correct partition
the drive is formatted properly for the installation
of windows so the one out of all four of these
that you want to select is obviously the largest
size the primary you you know the msr is reserve
it creates the system on the recovery these
are necessary to install Windows if you know
if your getting this error message you're
having that particular issue so drive 2 partition
4 if I I can go ahead and click format and
I’m just gonna do it anyway the same thing
will happen you'll see it just kind of moved
it but the same thing will happen if you click
next so again I just clicked format I just
want to make sure it was a clean format if
you click next it will still work just fine
but you'll notice now click next and now Windows
is going to install perfectly fine I do apologize
for talking so much I know this video is a
little longer than normal and I talk a lot
but there's a lot of important parts to it
so sometimes just going into your bios can
correct that issue and what happens is you
guys may have updated your hardware and you're
still trying to install an old windows version
on newer Hardware so if your bios you need
to go in and make sure that you have your
boot option set correctly that you're not
you know you're either in legacy mode or it's
setting that drive up properly and that way
you don't have to disconnect all of your hard
drives or external drives but if you find
yourself getting jammed up still that's where
I would start I would disconnect physically
go into your computer disconnect all your
drives leave your main drive connected that
you wanna install Windows on see if that helps
you can actually try unplugging your installation
media like maybe move your USB flash drive
to another USB port you can also inside your
you know bios uefi you want to make sure that
your drive is at the top of the boot order
so to check your boot order make sure that's
correct you know leave comments below if you
found another way to do this please share
it with my viewers and every one of my channel
I figured this was really nice video to share
because a lot of people do get scared when
they see that error message but anyway you
guys know what to do if this video was helpful

all in the next video have a good one.
