I'm facing a frustrating issue where my Windows installation is failing with error code 0x80042519-0x4002f. My PC specs are Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and an RTX 3060. I'm trying to boot from either an SM 960 EVO or a 500GB WD M.2 SSD, both of which are visible in the BIOS. I also have a minimal Linux install on one of the drives. If any partitioning needs to be done, I can handle it through Linux, but I might need guidance on that if necessary.

It looks like you're running into a storage access issue based on the error code. A quick search mentions that the installer might not be able to access your drives, even if they show up in the BIOS. It could be worth checking the connections and making sure the drives are properly seated. Also, try using a different USB port for your Windows installer if you're using one.

I understand the frustration! If the installer can’t find your drives, sometimes simply reformatting them with your Linux system can help. You might have to delete all partitions and create new ones from scratch, but make sure you back up any data you might want to keep. Let me know if you need step-by-step assistance!
