Windows 10 Bootable ISO Install Keeps Failing (0x8007025D)

0

Update: The problem turned out to actually be the Kexin USB drive. Windows Install worked fine through a newly purchased SanDisk drive. What made this so hard to debug was that the Kexin drive worked fine for many other things including Memtest, Parted Magic, Diskgenius.

I've tried 3 different Windows 10 builds (1709, 1903, 20H2), mounted them onto an 32gb usb drive via rufus, tried both mbr and gpt, for which I had to switch around my harddrive format even. All three times, the installation process fails usually at 12% of installing the files.

Here the error is described in detail: https://appuals.com/windows-cannot-install-required-files-0x8007025d/#:~:text=Corrupt%20data%20may%20be%20from,unreadable%20at%20a%20certain%20section.

How can a new usb drive, latest rufus, three different isos keep failing during the install process? I've swapped out my 4 ram sticks, tried the install with each one missing respectively to rule out problems there, no success. I've run a hard drive diagnostic tool by Diskgenius, only one bad sector found and repaired it. Now running memtest86, which found 2 errors. Could those be the reason?

Anybody have experience with this or know how to get more information on this error message and from where it's originating? It's unfortunate that windows doesn't give you more detail on why something doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to understand where the root of the problem might be.
