Win 10 Anniversary fails to install
My anniversary update failed near 80% complete showing: 0x80070017-0x2000c...failed in SAFE_OS phase...error APPLY_IMAGE operation. I suspect a hard drive problem as it makes noises. I have a new hard drive that I would like to replace the old one with. It is new (WD 1 TB WD10EZEX) and not formatted and has no OS on it, of course. How can I install the new drive and install Win 10 on it and then upgrade it to the Anniv Edition? I know how to physically put the drive in and remove the old, but don't know what to do after that. I have my original Win 10 Pro ISO on cd and a Macrium bootable rescue disk on cd to work with. What do you suggest?
