Trying to install Windows 7 Pro and I keep getting the error code 0x80070570.
I have tried everything from removing ram, clearing BIOS, jumper configs, re-downloading the software, slow burn...etc...
Can someone help me please
Fill in your computer specs. Since it's a custom build, include the motherboard make and model.
Motherboard ASUS M5a78L-M LX Plus
AMD Fx 4100 Quad Core 3.60 Ghz
I don't understand why it is so hard for newbies to fill in their System Specs.System Info - See Your System Specs

I filled in most of my computer specs...any help would be appreciated..
I thought I had posted a response. Did you have another thread?
In addition to the suggestions in Anak's link which are a top Google result from helping many others with this issue, you can try these steps:
Unplug all other HD's and peripherals,
Boot into BIOS setup, reset to defaults, save changes. (If an EFI BIOS you'll need to decide if you want UEFI BIOS vs. Legacy BIOS. If UEFI follow these special steps for Install, otherwise enable Legacy BIOS or Compatibility Support Module to proceed with normal install.) Set DVD drive first to boot, HD second, set SATA controller to AHCI, Save changes and Exit.
Then boot into Windows 7 installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed OS version here.
At first installer screen Press Shift + F10, or enter System Recovery Options to open a Command Box, type:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
ACTIVE
EXIT
EXIT
Next click Install Now, then Custom install to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.
In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.
After install you can adjust partition size or Create new partitions for data, etc. in Disk Mgmt. You are creating the partition here for the purpose of wiping the HD and marking Active which overcomes certain install failures.
