Error 0x80070057 during installation

[stalkid]

Hello.

I have bought a new Lenovo Yoga 2 13" with pre installed Win8 on a normal HDD. Thus I added a SSD (Crucial CT240M500SSD4 M500) and tried to install Windows 8 via an USB-stick on it. This did not work and I got the error 0x080070057.

Things I tried:
- Google suggested that I should delete all partitions during installation, create a new one and format it -> same error
- I booted a Linux live OS (Gparted) and created the partitions there. It worked (aka I got no error from Linux), Windows still gave that error during installation.
- I created a new gpt, again Windows won't install.
- Checked if the SSD is malfunctioning with badblocks -> no errors
- Changed boot priority
- Completely wiped the normal HDD

I still get the error 0x80070057. Do you have any advice, what might help?

Thank you in advance.

As I already said, I tried this solution a) during installation b) with windows installed on another drive and c) under Linux.
I always get the error, that Windows can not format the drive (Linux does not complain, but installing still won't work).

It turns out that the SSD was probably damaged, although it showed now r/w errors. Installation to a new SSD worked fine.
