Here are 5 Tried and Tested Methods to Fix Error 0x80300024 While Installing Windows

Solution 1: Check your hardware

The first thing you should do is check your hardware. If you are using an external hard disk drive, then try connecting it to another USB port to see if the problem persists.

If that does not help, then remove your memory card reader or USB devices except for your keyboard, mouse and monitor. After that, restart the installation process. If the error is resolved after doing so, it means that one of your USB devices was causing the problem.

Solution 2: Disable Secure Boot

If you are using a laptop, then you might want to try disabling Secure Boot from the BIOS. To do that, restart your computer and press the key that corresponds to your BIOS menu. From there, look for Secure Boot and disable it.

After that, try restarting the installation process and see if it works.

Solution 3: Use a different DVD or USB

If you use a bootable DVD or USB to install Windows, try using a different one. If you use a CD, try burning the ISO image onto a USB.

If that does not work, try downloading the ISO image again and make sure that you are using the correct burning software.

Solution 4: Run the installation process in Safe Mode

If none of the solutions listed above work, then you can try running the installation process in Safe Mode. To do that, restart your computer and press the F8 key while it is booting.

Once you press F8, you will be shown a list of options. Use your arrow keys to select Safe Mode and press Enter.

After that, try rerunning the installation process and see if it works.

If Safe Mode does not work as well, then use the System Restore tool to repair your computer before installing Windows again.

Solution 5: Install the latest updates

If you are using a Windows 7 DVD to install Windows, then make sure that you have all of the latest updates available for your operating system. 

If you are unsure how to get them, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update.

On the other hand, if you are trying to install 8.1 or 10, then make sure that you have installed all of the latest updates. 

You can check for updates by going to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update.

After installing all of the latest updates, try rerunning the installation process and see if it works this time.
