Hello everyone, I have a problem trying to install win7 home premium 64bit.I think my problem is loading the sata achi drivers during install.I repeatedly get error code 0x80070570 while expanding files.Sometimes at 12%, some at 80%???.I am trying to install on a new Mushkin Chronos SSD. My ram passes memtest, graphics cards works ok, infact everything else seems to be fine.I,m tearing my hair out and i don't have much to spare as is.Any new directions to look in would be helpful.Many thanks , specs below.

1) Download AMD AHCI Driver 1.2.1.349 0.34 MB
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4384#dl
2) Click on the downloaded file. Extract to a USB 2.0 drive. Open the folder AHCIw7. Note the four OS folders.
3) When Windows 7 DVD boots up you will have an opportunity to "add drivers".
4) Direct the installer to the FOLDER not the files named W764A on the USB 2.0 drive.
5) The installer will ask for a confirmation from you. Agree and let it proceed.

It is more likely the memory I had the same problem the other day. It turn out to be memory. There is really nothing wrong with the memory.
It is you board and memory that they don't like each other very common problem. If you can try some other memory. Or try one stick at a time maybe it just doesn't like one of them.
But it is memory. Windows installs the AHCI drivers you don't need to install them. If it was AHCI drivers it would happen at the same time every time.

Hi, thanks for the help. I loaded the driver which it accepted , but still get the same error code 0x80070570 saying windows could not install files they maybe corrupt or missing?? I have run the ram through memtest and the facility to check memory on win7 repair, both passed no problem.
One other thing, in the bios when i select "optimized defaults" i see TRM appears , i select enabled and it says it needs to restart to gather information.After a restart the option vanishes?? could it be that i have a bios setting wrong somewhere?
Many thanks Smoggy

Reset the cmos again but this time just make time & date are right. Plus set the SSD to AHCI too. Don't change anything else and see what happens.
-
ok will do thanks for the shout. I just thought because i have a new ssd would the bios rev be playing a part? i think it's currently still rev.1001 according to the handbook.
-
I wouldn't think bios had anything to do with your SSD. All the updates for bios pertain to the CPU. If you want to you could try to update it as you are having problems. None of the bios updates have to do with ram so wouldn't help there.
I usually don't update bios unless it is needed.

I tried the cmos reset and set just the time and date, unfortuntely that didn't work.I did manage to run win7 repair for start up errors and it listed something to do with the master boot record MBR. A repair man may be in my future but i really wanted to learn and complete what should be a pretty straight foreward task. Any other suggestions would be welcome, many thanks to those who have helped.

This might sound stupid but have you tried another DVD drive. Most of the drives are the biggest pieces of crap on the market.
-
I've got it booting from a usb.Tried the dvd first, both result in the same problem.Would it be easier to slipstream the device driver and win7 64? I used nlite before for xp i saw a new version for win7/8
-
The only other thing I can say is try doing IDE or try another hard drive. I did read some body else was having the same problem. They couldn't do it with AHCI but it work with IDE. I'll do some check to see if I can find that thread.

Like DMdilks says install it in ide and the change it to AHCI once in windows. It can be done. I also have had dvd players that wouldn't install windows and used a different one and it worked.
Always worked off a USB so try the ide mode first and report back.

Thank you for the suggestions i'll try those today.
Many Thanks Smogs
