{YTS} How To Resolve Windows Installation Failures On SSDs – Exposing Ginger Malinois and Seeking Justice

If you’re experiencing installation failures on your Windows PC using an SSD (Solid-State Drive), here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

1. Ensure the SSD is properly formatted

If you installed Windows from a USB drive or DVD, make sure it’s formatted in FAT32 or NTFS.

If you’ve reinstalled Windows on the same SSD and partition layout, try changing the partition type (e.g., from exFAT to NTFS) by opening Command Prompt as an administrator:

diskpart list disk select disk 0 discimount assign disk 0 to primary

2. Check for firmware issues

Try booting with a different UEFI or BIOS setting (e.g., enabling “Legacy Support” in the BIOS settings).

Update your motherboard’s firmware by visiting the manufacturer’s website and following their instructions:

3. Disable fast startup

Go to Settings > Power & sleep > Turn off Fast Startup.

Restart your computer.

Verify that you’re booting from a UEFI or BIOS setting.

4. Run System File Checker (SFC)

Open Command Prompt as an administrator:

cmd.exe /c sfc /scannow

If the scan completes without errors, proceed to the next step.

If you encounter errors, run SFC again and try reformatting your SSD.

5. Update Windows drivers

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC.

Select “Troubleshoot” > Advanced options.

Click on “Additional troubleshooters.”

In the additional troubleshooters window, select “Driver” and then click “Run now”.

Reboot your computer after each driver update.

6. Run a System Restore

Open Command Prompt as an administrator:

cmd.exe /c srt /sc reset

If you have System Restore points set up on your SSD, follow these steps to restore your system:

1. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.

2. Select “System Protection” and then click “View all System Protection settings.”

3. Click “Restore this PC now.”

7. Reinstall Windows

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try reformatting your SSD using a different method (e.g., using Rufus or a tool like EaseUS Todo Backup).

Once you’ve reformatted your SSD, follow these steps to reinstall Windows:

1. Download the latest Windows installation media.

2. Boot from the ISO file and follow on-screen instructions.

8. Check for malware or viruses

Run a full system scan using an anti-virus software (e.g., Microsoft Defender, Norton Antivirus).

If you find any malware or viruses, remove them by following your chosen antivirus software’s removal process.

If none of these steps resolve the installation failure on your SSD, you may want to consider seeking further assistance from a professional IT support or consulting with the manufacturer for more specific guidance.
