while trying run the MCT so that we can re-install Windows 10 to a friend's Dell Inspirion 620 desktop hard drive. The original hard drive crashed with a
2000-0142 error, where the boot drive has been damaged so much you cannot restore windows from Restore partition or run the Windows Repair program. Cannot even see any files by using hard drive as external drive input to another pc.
Were told to replace hard drive. owner has misplaced his backup image file drive else we would use that. this was originally a Windows 7 Pro OS. The only other backup or boot files are on DVD and Windows 7 and 5 years old! so, were replaced hard drive, contacted Microsoft for help downloading Windows
10 image using MCT-however we get this error each time we try and it was ran by MS agent the first time. Unknown reason for incompletion with error code '0x80042450-0xA001A'? I searched this error but did not get any intelligible definition from search. Something about a missing module or could not find an item...?! I couldn't make sense of it. the last time, number 4 trying to make this work I used a Dell laptop with Windows 10Pro because previously I used my Gateway windows 10 laptop, thinking maybe it was something on my pc causing problem. Still got same error. The usb drive I am using for the download is a Patriot 32GB thumb drive? formatted once with Fat and then NFST? Didn't help. Same error every time.
the agent I had last was suppose to call me back today but did not? I cannot call them directly so each time I do call a different person is involved. I am going to try one more time using DVD's to create ISO files instead of USB drive file. It probably will not work either. I will call agents again tomorrow and
suggest that they download file to USB drive or DVD boot files and mail them to me and I will pay for it. I would rather they figure out what this error means though. I had a Windows UPdate issue with the 1803 upgrade in April on my laptop(gateway).. they had to create an image file downloaded to my pc via MCT and it worked fine-I don't understand why it isn't working this time when downloading to a USB drive? Any of you know what this error means?
any help would be great. I have gotten 2 trys per day on this and going on three days! if I was getting paid I would be a happy man.
