Error code 0x80070570 during install of Windows 7 64-bit
Hi
I have a Macbook Pro 2008 - 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. It has 8Gb of RAM. I have run Windows 7 on this machine before successfully so I do not know what has changed except for the RAM.
The steps I took are below.
- start bootcamp
- repartition hard drive (successful) - 70GB
- insert Windows 7 64 bit disc (original - bought at launch) when instructed and select restart via Bootcamp
- boots into Windows 7 installer successfully
- I select Advanced installation
- I format the Bootcamp partition
- then installation starts. It reaches Expanding Windows File stage. At 42% an error occurs (below).
"Windows cannot install required files. The file maybe corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x080070570"
This can be reproduced every single time and at the same exact stage and percentage. I have tried different partition sizes with no success. I am using the original discs from Microsoft and also tried a copy of the disc with the same exact results. My Macbook Pro could install 8GB of RAM due to a secret firmware upgrade from Apple and it was discovered by some fix it site and they announced it which resulted in Kingston selling an upgrade kit which I purchased and installed. It works like a charm with OSX. Everything runs very smoothly and there are no errors at all on OSX. I can even run Final Cut Pro X and it uses all my RAM with no errors or crashes, so I am at a loss.
I hope someone out there has had similar issues and found a way to resolve it. Thank you.
