4 WAYS TO FIX ERROR 0x80300024 IN WINDOWS INSTALLATION

 

During installation of windows operating system of any version error 0X80300024 is the most common one. The error 0X80300024 is generally displayed with a message like “windows is unable to install to the selected location.  Error 0X80300024” , But no need to worry, today I am going to share 4 easy and effective ways to fix the error 0X80300024 , before that let me tell you why this error generally occurs .

 

There are several reasons for the error 0X80300024 like not enough space on the selected hard disk drive or the installation media file is corrupted or may be the selected hard disk drive is corrupted. One of the simple reason like wrong port can cause this error i.e. if you have inserted your USB drive in wrong port or there may some issue between the application software and the hard drive. Sometimes it could be a connection issue also so make sure all the necessary accessories are working properly and the connection between the hard disk drive, which you want to install the windows and the installation drive, is connected properly because sometimes if your connections are not proper simply causes the error 0X80300024 and makes you crazy.

 

So there are multiple reasons but whatever is the reason behind your error 0X80300024 we are going to fix this with 4 easy and effective ways below.

 

 

1.     Remove Any Unnecessary Hard Drives

 

In case your computer has more than one hard disk drive, one of which you can use as installation destination. Thus, it may happen that your installation drive is unable to locate properly the hard disk drive, which you want to install the windows that might be causing the error 0X80300024.So try to unplug all hard disk drives except for one that you need to install the windows on. Restart installation to check whether doing so resolves the error.

 

 

 

2.     Switch to Different USB Port

 

In case if you are using a USB installation media, then make sure that you have selected USB instead of DVD as an installation source. Also, try using USB port 3 and 2 to see which suits you best at this time. So we suggest that you disconnect the flash drive, then try inserting it to other ports. Sometimes connecting to the wrong USB port may result in error 0x80300024.

 

 

 

3.     Adjust the BOOT order according to target Hard disk Drive

 

While starting the system every computer has an order of sources, it tries to boot the Operating System from, and this order is configured through the average computer’s BIOS. It might be the issue that the hard drive you are trying to install Windows on is not at the top of your computer’s BOOT order thus you are getting the error 0x80300024 .

So try to adjust the Boot order of your computer in a way where your target hard drive in which you want to install the windows must be on the top of Boot order. In order to do so you need to follow the steps below.

 

 

§  Start or restart your computer

§  On the first screen that shows up you need to press either of the key F1 or F2 or Delete key for accessing the BIOS screen depending on the brand of your computer.

§  After entering the BIOS setup go to the boot configuration.

§  Change the boot order – set the destination drive for Windows installation as the first boot order.

§  While in the Bios, also ensure that you have selected “UEFI” as the boot mode. The option should be in the “Boot” section of Bios.

§  Save the changes and exit BIOS.

 

Now try to install the windows operating system again and check the error is gone or not.

 

4.     Format the Installation Location

 

When the partition of the hard disk drive that you are trying to install Windows on is not a newly created one, some previous data on the partition maybe interfering with the installation operation. So it is suggested that you’d better format the installation location before installing Windows. Thus formatting your hard drive will resolve the error error 0x80300024.

 

In order to format your hard disk you need to follow the steps below.

 

Step 1:  Plug the bootable Windows installation media into the computer and then restart the system.

 

Step 2: When your computer starts up, choose to boot from the inserted installation media.

Step 3: Choose your preferred language and other preferences.

Step 4: Choose the Custom (advanced) box when the notification appears.

Step 5: In the Windows Setup page appears, click on Drive options (advanced).

Step 6: Click the partition of the hard disk drive that you want to install Windows, and then click on the Format option.

Step 7: Confirm the operation. Wait for the completion of the formatting process. Then click on Next to continue to install Windows.

 

Hope this methods will help you to fix your error ,if none of the above ways works try to replace your hard drive.so good luck with your installation of windows .
