I’m trying to reinstall windows using The windows media creation tool. I’ve created a bootable usb using the windows media creation tool but upon running setup.exe I get this error:

“Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Error code: 0x8007045A Ox40003”

I have attempted to boot from the usb but windows says it’s unable to boot from this device.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
I would try using another USB drive. There are some that just don't appear to the bios as USB drives but instead show as HDD.

what motherboard are you using?

running the setup.exe? should be boot from it.
try another usb port? usb flash drive?

full system spec?

Hi, I’m attempting to run setup.exe because I can’t seem to be able to boot from the usb flash drive since windows says it’s unable to boot. I’ve tried all 3 USB ports available on my computer all of which returned the same result.
