Windows Cannot Install Required Files Windows 10 

It worked! Thanks a lot. Did not think the included USB drive would be the problem!!!

Thank you so much. What I did was make sure the computer that was being used to the create the creation tool had the latest windows update. Then I reformatted the usb I was going to use as the boot. Make sure to uncheck the quick format so it properly formats the usb. Also try setting the format as NTFS instead of fat32. When the media tool has been created, make sure to connect the usb directly to the motherboard.

I decided to use a different USB flash drive from a different brand. I formatted the new usb flash drive to NTFS. Then I copied the media creation tool to the new usb directory and opened it from there. I followed the instructions (language, x64, usb etc.) and when it was done I was able to complete the installation on my PC. Give it a try, I hope it works for you as well

I didn't even think my USB could have been corrupted somehow. This worked, thanks!

Hi there britec09 I'm so delighted it worked out My computer was destroyed with a virus So I planned to install a clean copy I downloaded the ISO file from pc river and made media with Rufus It didn't work But you lead me to the right way and it is working just as before Thanks You earned a like and a subscriber

Just an FYI: The "x" in the error code is not "times". It's just the letter "x". It's a symbol meaning that the number is a hexadecimal number.

Hey, I encountered this problem on a Dell computer, the media tool was fine, the problem was with USB port, the ports one the right did not work, had to use the port on the left.

It’s never that simple for me.. thanks for the video I’m sure it will come in handy one day just not today... 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Summary of what worked for me: 1. Switching USB format to NTFS 2. Trying a different USB port on the device 3. Making sure to *DELETE* all drives and then once you have the unallocated space, click *NEW* and make a new partition.

What if the Windows Media Creation tool brought me here?

Ok this worked for me. In your bios setting set your storage devices to ACHI rather then IDE. iDE is more catered to older windows systems.

what will i do if i format my windows and in between this error occur from where do i create bootable usb

Thanks, this worked for me :) I don't know why it happened but tried the same USB drive on two different PC and laptop and turned out fine, but on the third laptop I tried I got this error message and doing this solved it.

dude god bless ur soul you saved me from death gtx 650 ti. fx 6300 wouldn't work without this video ty so much

Thanks Brian - As always very well explained. Have a great ( UK warmer) weekend!

You're absolutely the best!! Thank you so much for this video!

this is not necessarily due to missing or corrupted files. It has been noted in the very long list of comments that it could be that you need to change the BIOS settings concerning SATA>AHCI to IDE. My particular board's BIOS does not have this option, instead it has an option called SATA AHCI MODE > enable or disable. I have to set it to disable. AHCI is primarily for RAID drives...running a single drive is not necessary. Also, it could be that the particular USB drive is not functioning correctly. I have had this happen several times. Simple test, try a separate media. Also there is the possibility that you need to place the USB drive in another "rear" usb slot. NOW all those options have been gone over. There is one more possibility. It could be the hard drive. I have had a brand new hard drive not take windows 10 at all no matter what. Warranty, RMA and 14 days later and it went swimmingly...so, keep in mind, you might not be crazy. Process of elimination, easiest first. Media? USB SLOT? BIOS SETTING? HARD DISK...?

Thank you for your guide, I change my usb insert point from front side to back side. I think usb connection problem for my case

I approached this problem from a tech standpoint. I keep getting this error regardless of the media I use to install, or the several PC's I use to create the media. I also got the error on Windows 8 and 7 media. I have deduced that there is a problem on the PC I am installing on. I changed the HDD and updated the bios, still the same problem. I even get errors installing Linux ISO's. I am thinking there is a problem with IO controller on the motherboard! *Revised* Turned out to be a bad ram module on the installation PC.I pulled out a 2 gig ram stick and everything installed fine !!

After re-creating a new Media Creation Tool, and it not working, I ran a system diagnostic, turns out I had a bad RAM stick and it gave me the same error code you mentioned. - 0x8007025D - I simply removed one of the two sticks, and I was able to install successfully. If anybody finds this post, check your RAM as well. Thank you for your video!

This solved the problem for me. Thanks!

Great advice, helped a lot with the installation thank you, greetings from Mexico.

This helped me a lot, thank you so much

I'm installing on an old Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop and removing a stick of ram worked for me. I tried one and that didn't work so I swapped it for the other 512mb stick and it punched through the installation process with ease. Hope this helps.

i have this problem with windows 7 when i try to install it on my pc "windows could not update the computer's startup configuration the installation can not continue" please i need help!!!!!!

This was not working for me, even with a brand new usb drive. What I eventually tried was pulling out two of my ram sticks at a time (have 4x4gb sticks) and by process of elimination found that one of the sticks was faulty and causing this error (even same error code). Memtest84 showed no errors in my memory but it still ended up being a faulty ram stick.

I have started to download windows 10 with the creatontool onto my stick, all worked fine, then during the installation the error pops up and the stick isnt formated anymore and wants me to format it again...

I had a situation that once i did clean install of windows 7, I could then do a clean install of windows 10 after it with success, but not windows 10 directly, this was on a much older machine G31M-ES2L running a xeon, if anyone has similar difficulty.

Hey guys .i found the fix for problem on the installation from USB .it was the USB antivirus on the PC where the USB was setup .when i deactivated the antivirus (smadav) then i mounted the ISO .the installation went smoothly with no errors .hope that helped (sorry for bad english)

Haven’t tried this yet but thanks dude I’ve had such a rollercoaster tryna fix my broken laptop for my bro and this had been the simplest tutorial yet :)

Thanks man this is now (8%) not (0%) then required files... i hope this work (100%)

And when this does not fix the issue. Do as Eskima suggested below. Plug your USB drive which you just made with the Media Creation Tool into a USB slot directly on the back of the motherboard. Do not use a front, side, etc, etc mounted USB slot. Do not use a USB 3.0 slot either. These are sometimes blue in color.

Thanks @Britec09. This helped alot

Bri - A heads up on a problem I posted on your brilliant forum. All my partitions were dynamic and I wanted them basic for Dual boot purposes. I discovered you can only have 4 partitions. I used Cute Partition Manager off the Ultimate Boot CD Multiboot USB I made from Your Sardu Tutorial. No spending $80 for Paragon Cute is free and worked a treat to change dynamic to Basic. I know youve done MSDart before but id like further explanation on how to get MSDart to make the Bootable USB...do we have to buy MSDart??

thank you very much for this mate

If you want to cancel the whole installation and just return back to your normal pc how do you do it? Mine is just infite looping with the "Install Now" but when I remove my USB its just a blinking curser and I couldnt do anything. When I boot it I cant press any options especially the Hard Drive one, the others just bring me back to the blinking cursor. HELP

Whenever im in the setup where you choose the operating system it doesnt let me progress because it gives me an error help me please!!!

What happens is it gets to the checking for updates part and after all that it suddenly stops and tells me windows 10 couldn't be installed on this pc then it brings me back to windows 7 any help?

Will this version (from windows 10 install media) be oem or box edition? And is this safe to run on Windows 10 PC (I want to make VMware VM and I don't think it will accept USB drive).

Thanks Brian, I love your videos. Excellent work.

My error is not that ... it says that I do not have a hard drive but if there is ... before I had win 10 and I went to win 8 and then format and go to 7 to finally go to ubuntu 16.04 LTS and now I want to move to win 10 for student reasons .... and I find this ... that I do?

How did you exit out of windows 10 and got into windows 7 and installed a new windows in the windows setup area.

I tried making a new usb 3.0 stick with the usb creation tool and i'm still getting the 8025D error.

I see people saying that replacing the USB stick might solve the problem. My story is as follows: I bought a new, free OS laptop. I used Rufus to make burn the win10 ISO on a USB, and had that error. It is IMPORTANT to say that I got the error while having my laptop plugged in and using a mouse as well. I managed to get it working after I unplugged the power supply and mouse, and used my USB into the port that my mouse was using. I don't know if the port matters, but I think that u only need a 100% baterry and the mouse pad for this job. Any other cable connected to the laptop may proc that error. Again, I am not sure if this is the answer, but it worked for me. Hope it still helps someone

Please help me when I click the media creation tool its just showing windows and the windows 10 setup did not pop out please help me I try it couple time and still not working

can you help me, I had the same problem in installation error, I checked the bios I noticed its only option is only boot menus, all the other options in the bios are gone,

Got this error two, after install 32bit windows 10 i get no errors. not really know the real reason but it works!

Thank u so much I was so scared I'm good right now

My friend has this issue and he has done what it says in this video where he downloaded a new version of windows 10 but he still gets the same error code. Do you know any way to fix this??

Hi Brian Sir, is it okay to not delete the partion? Just format the windows drive and install? Thank you Sir.

why in hell or how in hell would the usb get spontaneously corrupted... i really hope this is the problem...

If you manage to boot from DVD then there is a very slight chance of disk is damage. Installing from USB can give you the same error.

I downloaded the media from microsoft and I'm still getting this error. I tried both method "usb flash drive" and "ISO file", but none of them worked. Please help me what should I do

I have a same problem now ,but more than that I don't have operating system so can't open it and download creative media tools ,any option or can I do from safe mode?

So, what if this is my 50th usb drive that I've made with the creation tool, all on different USB drives, all made with varying computers, just to be safe? There can't be corruption on the drives, not all of them.. this is impossible.

Hey hi I need help.Im trying to install windows 10 from usb but it when its almost done it gets stuck at the getting ready stage just loading

It was my USB drive. Tried every option I had, multiple OS's, every port, multiple Bios settings, until I grabbed a old shitty hard drive, let Windows Media Creation Tool format 32 GB of space on it over the course of an hour, and it worked flawlessly.

After several attempts, I used a different usb port and it worked. I've no idea why, maybe the port was bad.

hey.. I did all that already. Downloaded the Media Center Tool thing, Booted from my USB drive. tried to install Windows 8.1. but I got the error message anyway.. But when I when through the installation process again it worked I didn't needed to format my drive or anything! ☺☺

Thank you sir, your video confirmed my suspicion and nudged me towards trying different USB stick..which worked!

Man I just loveeeeeeee you for this priceless tip.... I've been struggling with this problem like a crazy ass from last whole week... I downloaded windows from so many torrents, bought new DVDs nothing helped and gave the same error... then GOD helped me by bringing your video up... i followed the same process for Windows 8.1 and it worked like a charm... Thanks a bazillion for this ~ May God bless you...

Thanks broo veryyyy much, you helped me a lot.......

I aint got no windows now in my pc! How should i download it??

Thnxx u solved a big problem :)

Thank you so much. Now I don't have any error

Or is that possible that USB 2.0 port will not support for USB 3.0 it interrupted during the Windows 10 installation

That's ridiculous. Even a USB Drive Fails..

I have somatic software s7 but I can not install on the Windows 10

Hi there I am very grateful it worked out after watching your video.

I have total 8gd ram . 1 ram equal to 2gb and i have 4 of them . I remove three and left 1 on the black port of ram and thank god it works

I did what you say but she same error comes over and over, can you help me?

Does this work for computers that have double boot?

I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM BY; (1) MAKING ISO IMAGE OF THE WINDOWS. (2) USING WIN7 USB DVD TOOL TO WRITE THE ISO ONTO USB DEVICE. THE WINDOWS INSTALLED NICELY AFTERWARDS.

The only thing that helped me - i just disconnected all other hardrives and usb things, and after I tried to install the iso-win10 not by Microsoft media tool but with rufus 3.0, and the win10 was installed without errors!

Thanks again for another good video!

While installing windows, we format the drive (previous windows). So how we go back now... If we formatted already our C:\ drive...? And correct this error by provided solution.?

I deleted my current windows since it was corrupted and i tried using the same dvd i use everytime and got that error how can i create a new one if i cant access my PC?

i didn't remove the System Reserved partition, and a Win.7 and then a Win.10 installs have failed with this message . with the 10's install i couldn't remove a partition which i tried to install 7 to, then i removed them all with the 7, created with the 10 and the 10 have installed fine . used: Daemon Tools Ultra to Burn and the 2 CDs, some why NTFS USB storage with the official Win.10 wasn't recognized on the BIOS launch, but in a running Windows it was recognized as an installation carrier .
