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.

2024-11-09T10:30:59+00:00 Got the same problem.
Mine was because I had my old windows SSD still installed. The recovery and MBR partitions were causing the issue.
I deleted all partitions and successfully fixed the error.

2025-01-25T05:41:55+00:00 I disconnected all drives, except the one i wanted to install windows on.
Deleted all partitions and created a new one within the installation process, that fixes my problem.
I couldnt, for unknown reasons install windows on a 250gb ssd.

The optimal solution is to delete all existing partitions on the target SSD before initiating the Windows installation. Instead of manually creating partitions, directly select the unallocated disk space and proceed with the installation. Prior experience indicates that pre-installation partitioning frequently leads to complications. This streamlined approach should minimize time and frustration.
