Hi @Hunk009, 

thank you for your response

It seems you're encountering multiple issues related to the boot process, partitioning, and system file errors when trying to install or repair Windows 11 on your HP laptop. The error codes you're receiving (0xc0000225, 0xc0000098) usually indicate problems with the boot configuration or system files that prevent Windows from booting or reinstalling correctly.

Here’s a structured approach to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Confirm Your BIOS/UEFI Settings

Before you proceed with further troubleshooting, ensure that the BIOS/UEFI settings are correct:

Power off your laptop.

Press F10 repeatedly when starting the laptop to enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.

In BIOS, ensure the following:

Boot Mode should be set to UEFI (not Legacy).

Secure Boot should be enabled (if you're installing Windows 11).

Fast Boot should be disabled (temporarily) to ensure that changes you make are reflected.

SATA Mode should be set to AHCI instead of RAID, unless you're using Intel Rapid Storage Technology, which it seems you are.

USB Boot should be enabled to boot from your installation USB.

Save the changes and exit BIOS.

Recreate Bootable USB with Correct Settings

The bootable USB you've created might have a corrupt file structure or incorrect partition format. Let’s ensure it’s done correctly:

Partition Scheme: GPT (since you're converting your disk to GPT).

File System: NTFS.

Cluster Size: Default.

Make sure that you download the latest Windows 11 ISO from the official Microsoft website.

After creating the bootable USB, try booting from it again and see if it works.

Reinstall Windows 11 Using Clean Installation

Since you mentioned the installation was canceled at the last step (82%), this might indicate a problem with the boot configuration or disk structure.

Boot from the bootable USB by pressing F9.

When the Windows installation screen shows, choose Repair your computer instead of Install now.

Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.

At the Command Prompt, you’ll need to repair the boot configuration:

a) Rebuild the BCD (Boot Configuration Data)

Run the following commands, one at a time:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /scanos

bootrec /rebuildbcd

If any of the steps above report success, exit Command Prompt, and try restarting your system.

Also, I suggest you refer to this guide: HP PCs - Software recovery options (Windows 11 and Windows 10) | HP® Support

I hope this helps.
