Workaround for 0x80300024 Error In Windows 10/11 Setup
During the installation of Windows 10 or Windows 11, on the partition creation and formatting page, you may encounter error 0x80300024. This error occurs on hardware configurations with multiple hard drives or SSDs. It is caused by inability of Windows Setup to correctly recognize which internal storage device is bootable.
But there is a workaround for error 0x80300024: by manually transferring the bootloader, BCD registry hive and bootable ramdisk to internal bootable storage device and booting from that device, we can hint Windows Setup which of the multiple internal storage devices is bootable. Windows installation will then proceed as usual.
