Error code 0xc0000001 when installing captured Win 10 on ext. HDD
Hello everyone,
I tried to install a captured copy of a Windows 10 installation off of an external HDD. The HDD is 500GB, divided in two with one partition in FAT32 format and the other in NTFS. The latter (NTFS) partition holds the source folder with a whopping 157 GB install.wim file. On the FAT32 partition holds all the other folders and files for Windows installation including another copy of the source folder with only the boot.wim file (taken from the NTFS partition).
I attempted to install the Windows 10 capture on a clean Lenovo Flex 3-1570 laptop. (What I mean by clean is that the drive in the Flex laptop was wiped clean). I created the necessary partitions on the Flex's drive (MSR, EFI, Windows and WinRE). When attempting to install all went well until the installation process had to restart the Flex and it just stalled there endlessly (as if the laptop was off) with a blank, black screen. I shut off the laptop and tried again. This time I got a blue screen stating that the Windows startup did not work after many attempts and gave me an error code 0xc0000001. I did research on the error code and got that is has to do with booting up. So, the install never completed because it could not reboot.
Does anyone have an idea as to how I can get my external drive to boot during installation?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

P.S. I tried to Apply the captured Windows but I could get it to work.
