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.

    Hey!

    So I had this same problem when building a home server, here's what I did to fix it

    1. format all drives
    2. remove excess drives (drives that we are NOT going to install windows on)

    thats pretty much all you need to do.
