Switched on my Acer laptop and got an error 'No bootable device'. Then created a bootable pendrive and loaded Windows 10. Now when I'm trying to install, I'm getting the error 'We couldn’t install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive, Error 0x80300024.'

Tried diskpart in cmd, it is showing disk 0 with 930 GB but when I do list volume, it shows 'No volumes found'

I want to compeletly format my laptop and do a fresh Windows installation. Kindly help.

    I was having the same error when I was trying to install windows in my m2 SSD. I had two other hard disks connected and because the m2 wasn't the first one shown in the installation, Windows was producing this error. I disconnected all other hard drives, completed the installation on m2 successfully and then connected them again. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

    When I booted my PC it gave me 2 different options for the USB drive. One option had UEFI at the start and the other did not. When I selected the UEFI option the installer worked with no errors. Hope this helps!

    I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas. Let's ask other advisors and other Teams users for more suggestions that might help you.

    They would be able to reply to this thread and share their comments.

    I had a similar problem, I had installed two hard drives on the system, but after removing one of the hard drives, my problem was solved and Windows was installed successfully. After installing Windows, I reinstalled the hard drive on the system
