They appear to have done something special. I see you tried a blank drive without partitions and then with.
By the way, the sure fire way to trip up a Windows install is to partition and format then boot the Windows media to install. I've shown that failure too many times to the techs. Stop doing that. Blank drive please.
I've been trying to get a fresh installation of Windows 10 on my laptop via bootable USB with Rufus, but nothing has been working for me. I keep getting the error message "Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the computer's system volume. Error Code: 0x80070057." I have tried getting rid of the partitions on the hard drive, which worked but gave me the same error code when I tried to install W10. I tried formatting new partitions as well, but it gave me the same error. The way I formatted the USB in Rufus could be a problem, but Im not sure. I formatted it as NTFS and cannot recall if I did a GPT Partitioning for EUFI firmware for the partitioning scheme. Is this the issue? Or is it due to maybe a HDD failure? When it did first fail it gave me a "All boot options are tried" error.
