We are attempting to do a clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB storage stick.  I am able to boot to teh USB stick and after installing the storage drivers, I am able to see the system hard drive.  I select the disk and proceed with the OS install.  However, as the install percentage nears 100%.  I receive a pop that states that the Windows 11 installation failed.  I've tried to install both 24H2 and 25H2 versions but hit the same issue.

 

I've tried all types of troubleshooting.  However, I hit the same issue.  

 

Outside of the storage drivers, am I missing any other required drivers? Are there any BIOS settings that need to be reset that could prevent us from installing the OS.  Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You.

Have you tried the HP cloud recovery tool to reinstall Windows with?
