Win 11 Version 24H2 Install Failed

Anonymous

I tried to install Win 11 Version 24H2 for the second time, and it failed for a second time. The first BSOD message gave the following info:

Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart.

Stop code: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

After a couple of restarts, the update was backed out. I'm back on Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2.

I checked the update history and saw the Install error code - 0xc1900101.

Before I tried the 24H2 update, I did the following:

Unplug unnecessary USB devices

Drivers were updated

No issues in Device Manager

I have 30GB of free space on the drive

Any help would be appreciated,

    Panther and Rollback.

    You can also run setuplogscollect.bat (mentioned earlier in this thread) as admin and let it collect the logs.

    (If it's 0xC1900101 - 0x40017 again, you can try the USB boot method.)

    Ramesh,

    I've uploaded the Rollback and Panther folders. Let me know what you see. Would you outline what I need to do again for the last try? I want to make it a good try.

    Thanks,

    Hi sms1295,

    Here are some suggestions:

    Create the Windows 11 USB setup disk.

    Enable/connect your Wi-Fi adapter or dongle and access the internet from it. Disable the ethernet and verify you can access the internet using WiFi.

    Eliminate these three drivers using Farbar. One of which is your Realtek Ethernet driver. You can add these lines to the existing fixlist and run it.

    R2 CorsairLLAccessE5624B0A345A7E17A08498BFEDC2D42A7CBA71C2; C:\Program Files\Corsair\Corsair Device Control Service\bin\CorsairLLAccess64.sys [23632 2025-04-01] (Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher -> Corsair Memory, Inc.) 

S3 rtcx21; C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\rtcx21x64.inf_amd64_516e5c9b75c49dc2\rtcx21x64.sys [539648 2022-05-06] (Microsoft Windows -> Realtek) 

U5 VBoxNetLwf; C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\VBoxNetLwf.sys [256536 2025-01-21] (Oracle America, Inc. -> Oracle and/or its affiliates)

    Turn off Ethernet in BIOS.

    Run "pnputil /delete-driver oem115.inf /uninstall /force" remove the Ethernet driver from the driver store. You have a backup already in C:\Drivers. Maybe you can move C:\Drivers to another disk or partition.

    Disconnect other HDD/SSDs.

    Using the USB setup disk, do an in-place upgrade with Keep files, or clean install using the "Keep nothing" option.

    Note:

    There are over 200 error entries of "Completing a failed non-ReadWrite SCSI SRB request". Not sure if it's significant. Disconnecting the other disks (at least the ones which you can disconnect) is worth a try.

    Ramesh,

    I've doing the clean install, but I'm having issues. I've disconnected all of the drives except one which is where the OS will go. Here is what I've tried:

    Windows 11 24H2 IOS file: Created the IOS on a USD from the Microsoft site. When I go to boot from the USB, nothing happens except it takes me back to my boot option to select the USB. I have a laptop running windows, so I decided to see if I could mount the USB. I could mount it and start the setup.

    Windows 11 setup: Created a setup USB from the Microsoft site. When the program starts to execute, I get a screen saying "Install driver to show hardware." I do get an option to select a drive which are USB, C drive, and X, and tried with no luck.

    Any suggestions,

    sms1295

    Hi,

    You can get the Intel RST drivers from here:

    https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_intel_bootdisk_irst_19.5.0.1037.zip?v=1c1cc19cf2c0b1620224eab0a296e9ad

    (Source: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AORUS-ELITE-AX-rev-10/support#dl)

    Extract it to the USB setup disk and point to the driver folder by pressing F6 in the Setup dialog.
