I have a problem which is killing me... today I bought new Transcend SSD370 256GB hard drive. I write windows 8 to bootable usb drive. When I launched setup, choosed custom installation, then it shows just one drive with unallocated space almost 256gb, when I try to push button next for instalation I get error "we couldnt install windows in the location you choose. please check your media drive. 0x80300024 ." then I tried to creat new partition but got error " we couldnt create partition". I tried google fix for this, I tried use cmd and diskpart comands to do clean on disk 0 , but got error " diskpart has encoutered an error: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". intresting thing that I put this SSD to other laptop (asus) and after 5minutes windows was fresh installed... and then when I put SSD with windows that was installed on other laptop I got error that disk is unreadable or some disk error and suggestion to do ctrl alt del for reboot... both laptops ar on ACHI and UEFI is disabled... I dont know what to do next.... Im so depressed... any ideas how to install windows?

today I tried install from DVD, I hoped maybe USB flash drive is conflicting with SSD or somethink, but still get error that couldnt install in he location I choised, and gave me error 0x8007045D :/ I thinking maybe its something wrong with my HDD cable to laptop motherboard, but if it would be damaged I think I would not able to boot my previous windows from HDD.... I dont know it is so depressing...
 
I have the same issue, running Ubuntu on my hard drive, trying to install Win8 on my ssd, formatted to no avail. I'm using USB, made sure ive used the 2.0 port as well, some help would be greatly appreciated.
 
when I installed full windows on other laptop to this SSD or just install windows files to the first restart of setup and put in my laptop I get error that read disk error occured and suggestion to reboot laptop... its like my laptop dont want to be friends with this SSD...
 
I tried use migration program like AOMEI to migrate OS to SSD, I think program copied everythink ok but when I try boot from SSD I still get error read disk error occured.... I think it is or laptop bios fault or SSD firmware does not support my laptop or even SSD not support my laptop
 
Some of these "Generic" as i call them SSD drives dont work well with some sata controllers. The same can be said about some of the older non intel sata controllers and newer standard style hard drives. Put it into another computer and see if there is a firmware update you can install than try it in the above computer again. May be all you need to do.
 
I tried updating ssd firmware on other laptop but problem is that I use official SSD scope program, download update and that update file does not open,it says that is damaged... so I dont know maybe it is transcend fault...
 
Was it a newegg special? If it was than you know you got the short end of the stick as they are famous for selling defective, missing parts, etc on shell shocker or daily specials.

Personally id send it back and get atleast a samsung 840evo. There software is so much better and firmware updates are very easy.
 
Its a case of get what you pay for. The samsung duribility is alot higher and it will last you longer. Even moreso for the 850evo.
 
I unplugged my other hard drive, and it worked! The installation went well, but mine is a custom build PC, don't know if this is relevant to your case.
 
ok, yesterday I tried somthink... first I tried install ubuntu on ssd and its worked, ubuntu worked fine. So then I tried again to install windows, I run setup, it showed me 3 partitions that ubuntu made, so I delete them and just pressed next with unallocated disk and boom it showed me istallation progress... :O but stuck on first step of copying files at 0%... so no windwos... I waited for like 20mins then pressed cancel, it gave me next screen that installation canceled and I was unable to turn off setup... so I just powered off laptop. and then... I cant connect my SSD, my laptop was unable to start at all with that SSD, when I connect it with usb adapter it just stuck at recognizing it, I cant to format it nothing, its like SSD is bricked... I tried again install ubuntu on ssd but installation gave me input output error, so yeah.... now I think its just left to me bring it to the warranty... ;(
 
the part i love the most is you put it in your asus and it worked right?

but the hp didn't work.. ha.

so did you get it to install or what?

you probably have to change some bios settings on the hp.. and then make sure you download the correct windows for it etc..
 
yeah, on asus its worked fine, on acer laptop was worked fine but with my hp not... and there is no much to change in hp bios , basicaly just legacy or uefi and its always was legacy... and now ssd bricked... I think Im going day after tomorrow to take it to warranty or return to seller. bassinface, it cost me like 100€ =~ 120$ :/
 
ok well again if it works on other computers.. that says it all..

and as for your 100€

so then $120 ok.. so is upping it to this going to hurt your bank?? and this is the most recent- latest out there..

yeah, from amazon its just 133$... but in my country its 130€ :/ ok, first I will return it for money or take to warranty and then look what to do.
 
I have just been looking at the same problem installing windows 10 on a Lenovo Y510P laptop where I have installed my OS on the removable drive so that I may boot from different OS's by changing the drive.
This topic has been covered before - look under windows 7 0x80300024
I thought that was an elegant solution!! BUT now I have to take my laptop apart every time I wish to install a windows OS!!!
When will Microsoft learn!!! Never I think.
