Hello,
I just completed my first build, and am getting an error when attempting to install Windows (Error: 0xc00000e9, "...problem communicating with a device connected to your computer...can be caused by an external USB device...or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing"). The error occurs while "Windows is loading files" is on the screen for about 10 seconds.
Some info: Motherboard is an ASRockZ63. I have two hard drives in the box (one Crucial 64gb SSD, and a Seagate 1TB drive), and have got the same error when switching between them individually. When I look at the BIOS, the CPU, RAM, HDD and CD Writer are all recognized correctly. I've set the mode to "AHCI" on a suggestion from a similar thread I found on Google.
Boot order is AHCI DVD Drive -> AHCI HDD -> UEFI DVD Drive. The only USB devices I have plugged in are my keyboard and mouse (same error with just the keyboard plugged in).
Does anyone have ideas as to what's going on, and how i can fix it? If any more information is needed, let me know and I'll provide it.
Thanks,
