Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit install ERROR 0x8007045D
Ok I have been over this forum with a fine tooth comb the past few days trying to troubleshoot my problem that I am having.
I have attempted to install every iteration of windows 7 on my brand new build. I don't have any blank DVD's so I have been attempting to install from USB. Every time it will get to the Expanding Windows Files and it hangs at 0% then eventually throws this error ( 0x8007045D ).
Before every attempted install the HDD is pulled and wiped using my other system. My BIOS is set to default and I don't have settings to disable legacy USB.
Every part of this build is literally brand new all bought at the same time at the same place. I am quite literally stumped as to what is going on and the last attempt I tried I knocked the system down to 2gb of RAM and moved the SATA cable to the 6gbs connector and still nothing.
Motherboard - MSI 970A-G46
CPU - AMD FX 8350
RAM - 8gb Ballistix
GPU - XFX HD 7770 Ghost Edition
PSU - Corsair CX 750
My case is a Corsair 800D which has the hot swap drive bays. I thought that maybe the hard drive was bad but when I put it into the bay I can hear it spin up, but don't hear the hard drive at all during the attempted windows install.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, I also attempted a clone hard drive as I have had luck with them just swapping to an entirely new system in the past but didn't happen on this build. With the cloned drive on my new build I just sit at the windows splash forever and it eventually just freezes.
