Need help installing OS on new hard disk

[TheSacredSoul]

I just installed a brand new 1TB WD Blue HD. Also have a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive connected. No other hard disk is connected. I keep getting an unexpected IO error. Is the hard disk DOA?

Try remaking the thumbdrive again. If same problem then hard disk issue

Go into BIOS and check if motherboard detects your HDD.

It does detect my hard disk in the bios page. And I already tried the USB on a laptop. It works fine.

You set BIOS to boot from USB drive?

I encounter similar before for my win 8.1pro.
It keep prompt io error cos system issue, or the installation files is corrupted or missing halfway during installation?

I search and found the solution to create win7 boot disk with win8 or 10 iso using thumb drive.

Hope it helps..

You set BIOS to boot from USB drive?

Yup. It just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then the monitor shows no input detected.

My old MB couldn't boot from win10 usb drive either, so maybe is sign for u to upgrade?

Try a BIOS update, I have a 5 year old laptop which came with win7, had to update bios that supported win8 before I updated to win10.

You are a genius. Used a Win7 install USB instead of Win10 and it installs perfectly. Thank you.

Means what?

Old BIOS does not support UEFI and Secure Boot? Is this the cause?

Old BIOS doesn't support installing of Windows 10 direct. Using Asus Rampage II Extreme. Installed Windows 7 on the new HDD and now installing Windows 10 over it.
