The error code 0xc0000098 usually points to a problem with your system’s Boot Configuration Data (BCD)—often caused by missing or corrupted boot entries. Since your laptop restarted and won’t install properly, try booting into recovery mode using a Windows 11 installation USB. From there, run Startup Repair, or use Command Prompt to rebuild the BCD with commands like bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, and bootrec /rebuildbcd. If that doesn’t work, a clean reinstall of Windows 11 may be needed. Let me know if you need help creating a recovery drive.
