So,
I led had a happy computing life until my HDD kicked the bucket. I was left with a smaller HDD, so I decided to install ubuntu. Which ran perfectly until i decided to play games. For which I manually tried installing nvidia graphic driver, during which grub got puged up. Then i decided to switch back to windows, so now this...

From my experience with multiple ISOs of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 and even 10, I can tell you that error 0x8007025d means that the installation media is corrupted.

So do a W10 install and skip entering a key #. Use the W7 key if you want to pin code key to this machine.

Reason to try a different OS is to see if it goes uncorrupted. Also you may want W7 as a preference choice.

 

[Harry9001]

And there it goes, rebooted comp and the original code 0x80000010 is back.

I can easily and perfectly use live usbs, like try ubuntu and stuff, even rescue disks but cant install]

Is the Ubuntu still listed in the boot order or has that cleared???

So your not even going to try?

 

[jaggerwild]

Only plug in the drive you want to install Windows onto, see if that helps(preferably remove Ubuntu).

 

[Harry9001]

Surprisingly its still there, like i said earlier. Even when i remove all usbs, HDDs, SSDs, that ubuntu doesnt go away.

Even when everything is disconnected, ubuntu stays

And yet you refuse to update BIOS.

 

[Harry9001]

That bios update listed on gigabyte website is listed as un stable

 

[jsfitz54]

That bios update listed on gigabyte website is listed as un stable

SO WHAT, see if it works. If not, ROLL BACK.

Hmm, I guess its worth a try. Its listed as beta bios, will update after flashing.

@Easy Rhino , how is that possible?

When you removed the battery to clear CMOS: Did you have to reset the date and time? ---If not, it was not cleared and you did it wrong.

W
I dont know if the time got reset, buti did get a message that bios was reset, do you want to keep optimum/default settings, etc.

So, i was updating bios, everything was goint great until it got stuck in a loop. Its erasing, then writing then verfiying. Then reboots take place and then the whole thing starts again. a
