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'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.

    Not sure if you still need help, but disconnecting ALL (and I do mean ALL) USB devices fixed my issue and allowed the installation to proceed.

    No clue how/why it worked, but it did. Best of luck!
