Hi guys. I've been having some issues trying to install windows 7 onto my SSD (crucial m4 128 GB) whenever I try and install to this disk I get the error message 'windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation Error code: 0x80070570' Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ? Thanks

Are you installing off the disc or memory stick?

Might seem strange but when the message appears have you tried to restart the installation again?

I had problems reinstalling Windows 7 from disk after I messed up my Win8 upgrade. After a quick google the advice was to just click on install again and not cancel the installation.

It worked...

I tried disk first then USB

same issue. I have also restarted the installation a few times with no luck

Ok, could be a dodge install media or HDD. Had a similar issue years ago. Turns out the DVD drive was too old. Used an external DVD drive or memory stick it worked fine. Or could be bad RAM in the computer.

Thanks Malachi

I took out A RAM stick just to be 100% sure it wasn't that and it Worked !
