Windows installation fails with error code 0xc0000225 on your laptop.
i am looking for assistance with your laptop issue. you have a 128gb ssd in your laptop and a 1tb hdd from toshiba, but now you're using a new pc with the ssd on the desktop. you're trying to reinstall windows on your laptop but keep encountering the 0xc0000225 error. the toshiba recovery tool helped, and you have a bootable windows 10 usb, but changing the boot order in bios doesn't fix it. pressing f8 causes a flashing screen. someone can help clarify what's going on.
Power on your Windows installation USB/DISK. Navigate to the 'Install Windows' screen. Press Shift+F10 to type in, then select Diskpart. List disks to identify the correct one. Choose the right disk, click Select disk #, then Clean. Create a new partition, pick Format as NTFS, quick format, and restart the installation to complete.
the hdd isn't the problem. it's more likely the installation disc or usb stick isn't functioning properly. if you use a verified working disc, it should work fine.
0xc0000225 refers to a software or hardware problem, usually caused by a very small partition on your hard drive or a reduced partition size. You might attempt to rebuild the BCD.
Steps to follow:
1. Insert your installation disk.
2. Click 'repair computer'.
3. Select your Windows drive (C:\)... then click next.
4. Choose command prompt.
5. Enter the following command (press enter after each line):
bcdedit /export C:\boot\bcd.backupren
C:\boot\bcd
C:\boot\bcd.oldbootrec
/rebuildbcd
can't start from a Windows setup with damaged files—could be either the USB drive or the CD/DVD.
You connected the USB drive to set up Windows 10 on your computer.
