[SOLVED] Error installing Windows 11 on new system ---- "Windows could not continue with Windows installation" ?

[Moderator note: Moving post from Systems to Windows 11.]

Hi everyone I need help!
I've just build a new pc.
X670e-e motherboard
And a ryzen 7000 cpu.

I'm trying to install windows 11 from a USB flash drive.
It gives me the prompt to install windows and to select hard drive I wish to install in.
I select one , and while starting it up it gives a error after a couple seconds.
It just says that "Windows could not continue with windows installation".

Do I need to change something in the bios to install windows 11 directly from USB or update the bios before hand?
Ive tried on 2 different nvme both formated.
1 had a previous windows 11 installation but since formated on windows USB flash drive menu option to select hard drive
And another without any data.
Any help is much appreciated.

If I don't answer is because I will go to sleep but will respond tomorrow morning or in 6 or so hours.
Never had any issues with windows besides this one time.
Thanks once again

1) Windows 11 on USB drive: source?

2) Do a clean install. FYI:

I'm trying to do the clean install but like I said I'm having no success in such.
Any suggestion?

No success - what happens, what problem(s)?

What is the target drive for Windows 11?

Any error codes, pop-up messages, beeps, etc...?

Regarding the link: which download selection are you using?

Thanks for providing you're time first of all 😀.

The long explanation.
The target drive is a 970 pro 512 gb used from my previous pc setup ( i7 9700k) with windows 11 installed on it.

I'm using the second option = windows installation media kit.

Now after booting up and initializing the windows tool and selecting drive partition 1 (primary) after formatting the nvme on the media tool itself.
I start the installation on the nvme and a windows just poops up ( unable to install windows ) please retry again using the windows installer...

I've tried several times and it created more partitions of the nvme.
Since it mentions 3 or 4 volumes
Disk 0 Volume 1 (primary) 560 Gb
Disk 0 V2 (backup) 100mb
Disk 0 V3 (reserved) 500mb
Disk 0 V4(system) 50mb

In one of the attempts it said that it could not start the installation since the nvme was partitioned in ntfs but required fat32.
No other information besides that.

I have installed on the same motherboard(x670e-e)
=1 (2 TB nvme )+ 1 sata sdd 524 Gb at same time.

You're booting from the properly constructed Win 11 USB?

Have only single drive connected.
Clean target drive before installing windows onto it. Use diskpart clean method.
Press Shift+F10 to open command prompt during install process.

I've done the above good sir.

Now it give me error code 0xC0000005
Windows installation encountered an unexpected error.
Verify that the installation sources are accessible.

Removing the other drives fixed the issue.
Would never had guessed that could have been an issue.
Thank You kind sir for the feedback.
Greatly appreciated.
Wish you a great day/Night.
