Hey guys, I've been trying to do a blank install of Windows 8, but I've run into some problems. I have created a usb drive with the windows installer. When I go into the windows installer, everything goes fine, I can select the empty space to install on, then when I get to installing, as soon is it starts, I get this error message:
Since 0xC0000005 is a memory access problem, I ran memcheck86+ for a couple passes, and it didn't spot anything wrong with my memory. I also updated my bios to the latest version, neither solved the problem. I made a windows 7 installer usb as well, thinking I would just install 7 then use the upgrade assistant to move to 8, I got the same error when installing windows 7. I redownloaded both, still didn't work. I even tried installing it on a new hard drive, same problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
The drive I'm intending to install it on has another partition on it for other use, but I think I ruled that out when I tried installing it on a totally blank drive as well.
Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation.
