Error Code 0x8007045D When installing Windows 7 or Windows 8

[bsmith1993]

I've recently had a bout of problems with, what I assumed to be at the time, my SSD drives and so when my last problem occured in which my computer blue screen but then somehow crashed on said blue screen and would not boot, I naturally assumed my SSD was to fault and RMA'd it with OCZ, and instead of using another (again what I assumed to be) faulty SSD I decided to buy a standard HDD to install Windows to instead since i figured it would probably be more reliable.

Now that I have plugged this HDD into my PC and attempted to install Windows 7 via a disc it failed at "Getting your files ready to install" and gave me the error code 0x8007045D so I decided to try installing Windows 8 instead via a USB stick because I thought it might be my disc and / or Windows 7 so I prepared a USB to be a bootable device with my Windows 8 ISO, and when I was installing that everything was going fine until "Getting your files ready to install" at which point it gave me the 0x8007045D error code again. I've even tried unplugging my second hard drive whcih is a 3tb Western Digital Green, which set to GPT instead of MBR, to see if that changes anything but it does not.

I am stumped as to what could be causing these problems as I now believe it to not be problems with the Hard Drives or SSDs themselves but I believe it to be with some other parts of my computer, but what it actually could be is beyond me.

Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

I'm afraid none of those are of any use to me because I'm trying to perform a fresh install on a new drive so there is no previous Operating System so I cannot install any of these programs that are suggested in the solutions.

GO INTO YOUR BIOS AFTER YOU DO THIS... use 1 stick of ram 1 hard drive I gpu for your vid the cpu and 1 dvd rom ok min everything. go into the bios and try reset to defaults then try to install if this don't work try resetting your cmos on the board be sure to unplug any power cord to it when doing so with the cmos ok. Hope this helps.
