Hi all, I'm trying to install Windows 7 from my flash drive (my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive). I can boot into the flash drive just fine, but no matter what I do, Windows 7 always gives me "error code 0x80070570" while it's expanding files for the install. I've tried everything!!! I've verified CRC checksums a million times, tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to IDE in the BIOS, tried both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems on my flash drive... Can anyone help me out here?

EDIT: Solved by replacing flash drive

Sounds like a bad download to me. Download the .iso again.

Actually, turns out it was a bad flash drive. Went out and got a new Sandisk, tried the install again, and everything worked like a charm.

Glad to hear that you found out the problem else you would have been cursing Microsoft resulting less sales.
