0x80300002 preventing me from doing another Windows 10 clean install

[baconburgers]

Before I start, this is actually Part 2 of my frustrations with Windows 10 and Toshiba laptops. Here's a link to Part 1. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3502870/boot-problems-preventing-windows-reinstall.html

So even though I deleted all the partitions so there's only one that's called "Allocated Space," Windows just gives me an error called "0x80300002."

I looked it up on T.H. here and I've opened up the Command Prompt and following the Command Promp instructions here ( http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2994022/win-installation.html ) I've found that the "List Disk" has two Disks in it:

Disk 0: 465 GB and all of it free
Disk 1: 7663 MB and none of it is free

Where Windows Setup asks where I want to install this Recovery Media, only Disk 0 even shows up and there's no clear and obvious way to find Disk 1 (it's partition IIRC?) let alone get rid of it from. Am I able to just remove Disk 1 from the Command Prompt? If so, how do I do that?

Also, the recovery media is the exact same one I created to do the last clean install. Do I need a new one before I continue? Where do I download the correct version from?

disk 0 = hdd
disk 1 = USB you are booting from? Its only 8gb?

Did you clean Disk 0?

the installer is still the same so that copy should work

I wonder if we get this

Clean Install Stage 1 error 0x80300002
I have tried everything possible to complete windows 10 clean install on my Toshiba Satellite C50 series without success. Here is what I have done so far.
Deleted all partitions
Created a new partition
Go to next I get "error 0x80300002"
Deleted partition using diskpart Clean says it has succeeded but I can still see drive on disklist
Note: Disk attributes Read Only State set No.
Create a new primary partition and Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

So has it installed since that last post?

That link didn't help at all.

I just don't get it. Installing it this way worked before, so why has it up and stopped working now?

Would it be easier to just downgrade back down to Windows 8.1? I'm at a loss at how to fix this thing as it is and nobody else on the site seems to know how to fix this particular error. I just don't know. : /

if you can get win 8.1 to install, go for it. I would then upgrade to win 10 over the top as you have a licence for it

Now it won't even let me to past that stupid "Reboot and select proper Boot device" screen! This thing gets more frustrating every time I try anything to fix it! I didn't even do anything to it this time!

It could be the problem is actually the hard drive itself. Does the hard drive show in the bios?

You might want to create this on USB: https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk as it contains a long list of tools you can run at boot

I think this is getting far too complicated for a beginner like me and my lack of skills to handle. I'm sorry for calling it quits here, but at this point I think it would be far less stressful and take much less effort for me to just buy a new computer. Thank you very much for taking time out of your schedule for helping me out, though.

Get something that is new and supports Win 10 and you won't have this much trouble
