Product: HP G62-45OSA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I am trying to clean install windows 10 on one of my old computers, an HP G62-45OSA device. (I'd rather not clone my old drive, not that I haven't tried, unsuccessfully so.) I have created a bootable USB flash drive, removed the old hard drive that came with the computer, inserted the new SSD, and attempted to install windows 10 on it by booting up with the USB bootable plugged in. But it keeps coming back with this error:

Your PC ran into a problem. We’ll restart for you.

Stop Code: Page Fault IN NONPAGED AREA

What failed: WimFsf.sys

I had assumed this would be easy, but it has been nothing but frustrating. I would appreciate any tips or guides to clean installing windows 10 on HP G62-45OSA.

 

Thank you!

I managed to solve this myself with WinToUSB. It allowed me to install Windows OS on the SSD without mounting it – while plugged into one of my USB ports. After installing Windows OS, I mounted the new SSD, and it booted without issues.
