I am attemtping to install windows 10 and I receive the following error message directly after "copying files" completes:

File: \windows\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys

The operating system couldn't be loaded because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors.

My hardware is as follows (if more required please feel free to ask):

> Asus sabertooth 990fx mobo
> FX8350 CPU
> XFX RX480 GPU
> Kingston HyperX Predator m.2 pcie g2 x4 solid state drive 240GB

I am attempting to install via a usb drive which I purchased and payed almost $200 for specifically to avoid problems like this...lot of good that did: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832588529&cm_re=windows_10_thumb_drive-_-32-588-529-_-Product

Before install I used dban to wipe windows 7 from the drive to prevent any conflicts.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. :(

Appears the usb drive that came with the serial key is corrupted and or missing files. Tried on two different systems. Same result. Downloading a copy of windows 10. Specifically purchased this package so I wouldn't have to do that. Thanks Microsoft.
