Windows clean install-sufficient hard disk storage space. Error 0x800700EE

Hi guys.

For over a week I tried to find the cause of this error message, without success. I want a clean reinstall of Windows 10 ver. 22H2 ver. 19045.2486, but will keep existing apps and settings. I use Multimdeia Creator for win 10, from a USB flash storage.

I know that a fresh install of Windows 10 will require 32GB of free storage space. My C: HDD had 77GB of free space. After deleting temporary files, trash, moving files from Dokumet and image folders, I now have more than 400GB available. I have also tried sfc /scannow oh chkdsk /c /f, the aforementioned with boot scan because the C disk must not be locked as it often is under Windows.

Does anyone know why this error might occur?

Very grateful for contributions here.

    Hi,

    a good idea.

    But could you please inform me to how lunch SetupDiag?

    This is a non-well known SetupDiag option (WIN+R)

    Okay,

    from this process:

    DISKPART> sel disk 0

    Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

    DISKPART> list part

    Partition ### Type Size Offset


    Partition 1 Primary 930 GB 1024 KB

    Partition 2 System 100 MB 930 GB

    Partition 3 Primary 589 MB 930 GB

    DISKPART>

    DISKPART> CREATE PARTITION MSR SIZE=16

    Message:

    No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, (only logical drives may be created).

    OF course, the partition could not be created due to not tilstrekkelig anvendelig plassområde, i den nåværende c: HDD.

    MSR partitionen du her opplyser om her har to hensikter: The Boot Manager and Boot Configuration Data: Windows Boot Manager reads the boot data from the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Store. MY PC starts the boot loader off of the System Reserved partition, which in turn starts Windows from your system drive. Den andre henikten er om en bruker C disken som komprimert med tilleggsfunksjonen av Windows, BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    Men tilbake igjen til skape en ny partisjon 16MB størrelse. Jeg er i besittelse av AOMEI Partition Asistant Professional Editor (3th parts software). Her burde jeg kunne klare å frembringe meg en 16MB partition, men som jeg forstår deg (korrekt?) MRS vil ved hjelp av partisjons programmet ved bruk av shrink C:, etterfulgt av DiskPart automatisk skape den nødvendige MRS delen?

    Du nevnte også noe vedrørende av en nødvendighet av og med å skifte ut "hva kommer først" og "hva kommer etter", ..."then shift C: rightward past it".. Kunne du ha kommentert dettee noe nærmere?

    OG, boot med disk 0 (C:) er ingen problem, foreløpig.

    (1) The paragraph that mentions the Boot Manager & Bitlocker is not fully translating to English.

    (a) But, if you've got BitLocker, then decrypt your drives & turn it off at least until this problem is solved. Do you know how to do that? I don't have it & would have to BING for the answer.

    (b) Do the other measures that are in that article I posted earlier, which was...

    https://www.techinpost.com/the-volume-for-a-file-has-been-externally-altered/#:~:text=Generally%2C%20When%20you%20try%20to%20copy%20files%20to,changes%20in%20the%20file%20on%20the%20hard%20drive. Methods to Fix & Solve the Volume for a File has Been Externally Altered Error

    (c) After all that, check whether you can do the BCDEdit commands I posted earlier & post the results.

    (d) I guess also show us the System Summary page of MSInfo32 (type into Search). Use the Edit menu to Select All, then Copy. Paste it to us. I especially want to see what it says is the Boot Device.

    (2) That's right, you'll need to shrink C: as I posted earlier before we can create an MSR partition. And AOMEI should easily be able to shift C: rightward over the free space. But let's hold off on that until we can see a BCDEdit. We may want to move your EFI partition as well. In the end, it would be best if your Windows partitions were all on Disk 0 & in the same order as mine.
