Hello,
I just got my new notebook HP 250 G7 which comes with freeDOS on it.
After trying to boot from USB Windows installation disk I get blue screen error number 0xc0000017
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Luka

Hi, Luca:
See if the info at the link below is of help to you...

Unless you are getting the blue screen immediately upon booting from the flash drive, since you don't have Windows installed, you can get the the command prompt at the beginning of the installation by selecting the 'Repair this PC' option on the bottom left of the Install Now window.
So you would skip the first two steps in the link.
- Type bcdedit /enum all and press Enter.
- You'll see a list of all the memory locations that have been deemed 'bad', this list can be cleared.
- Type bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist and press Enter (type this verbatim, {badmemory} is not a placeholder for anything).
- Close the Command Prompt window and restart your computer and see if you can now install W10 from the USB flash drive.

Hello Paul,
thank you for Your quick response.
Unfortunately I am getting the blue screen immediately upon booting Windows installation from flash drive.
After running HP PC Hardware Diagnostic UEFI, I got this results:
Processor Check: Passed
Memory Quick Check: Passed
Storage Check: No storage installed
Hard Drive Check: Smart Check: Passed
Short DST: Passed
System Board Test: Passed
Furthermore, in BIOS Setup under Configuration -> UEFI HII Configuration -> Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology I'm getting this:
Intel(R) RST 17.8.0.4507 RAID Driver
No disks connected to system
Booting Hiren’s BootCD PE was successful and there I saw hard drive (SSD 512GB) so I don't know why I get no storage installed in diagnostic.
Could You please assist me any further?
Best regards,
Luka

You're very welcome, Luca.
Unfortunately, I have no idea why you are getting those reports, and why no drive is showing up for storage.
Does your notebook have a DVD drive?
If it does you can make a bootable W10 DVD instead of a USB flash drive.
