Unable to set up Windows 10 on a formatted M.2 SSD.
Unable to set up Windows 10 on a formatted M.2 SSD.
Good day everyone, I’ve been taking some free time and decided to perform a fresh install of Windows 10 on my PC. I prepared a bootable USB drive and everything seemed fine until during the setup I encountered an error: 0x8007001. The drive vanished afterward, and it stopped being detected even in BIOS. I had to reset the CMOS. Here’s what I know: the drive is an Intel 600P, previously used on an Acer laptop. After a clean Windows install, the license was auto-selected for the first time. After this issue, I transferred the SSD to another system, cleaned it up completely with the partition wizard, and then reinstalled. Once back on my PC, the same error reappeared. The only solution was a full clean install of Windows 10 on the laptop, followed by moving the SSD. Eventually, I managed to get everything working again. In the end, I have a functional PC with Windows 10 (even though it’s using the license from my old laptop). This situation is frustrating for me—it feels like a loss. I’m planning to try a fresh installation on my desktop PC. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Have you attempted to clean your flash drive and install the newest Windows 10 version via the tool available on Microsoft’s site? The problem might relate to the installer or compatibility with the SSD.
Check the newest Windows 10 version and ensure your drive is intact.
BIOS doesn't display disk details. The motherboard might not recognize the disk. To access information, you may have to remove the hard drive partition and change its format. It's usually necessary to convert it to GPT format.
disk is already in GPT format. After the previous issue, the BIOS doesn’t display the drive until the CMOS is reset. Now it functions properly but there seems to be a problem.
