    I suggest checking your connections. I encountered this error while copying to a SanDisk flash drive connected to the computer by two daisy-chained USB 3.0 hubs. I moved the flash drive to an available USB port on the computer, and all went well.

    The error message for 0x800701B1 doesn't tell who specified which drive, nor what the language of that specification was. Passive voice, nonspecific, ambiguous, the error message provides no guidance.

    Had the same problem with a Sandisk MP3 player.  Went crazy trying many things and different computers.  Ended up trying a different USB cable and all worked fine.

    I had the same error when installing on a fresh internal SSD disk on older ASUS F550CC laptop.

    It only installed 3% and the error came.

    After several attempts I swapped the USB ports of mouse and USB memory Win10 installing stick.

    Then every thing went smooth.

    Sounds strange but it worked.
