.

During the installation of Windows
Error 0x8007045d is most common when installing Windows when there are any problems with the HDD or SSD.
This signals a physical failure. There may be two options: a faulty installation disk or USB drive, or a problem with the hard drive of the computer itself.
The most frequent case: physical damage to the hard disk, in which everything is fixed solely by replacing this component.
Of course, there may be a malfunction of the carrier itself, but the easiest way to eliminate it is to simply insert it into another computer and try to start it.
With an incorrectly functioning hard drive, everything is more complicated.
In this case, during installation, the creation of partitions for the operating system passes without failures, as well as the formatting of disks.

Make sure your PC has enough free space for the specific OS version.
If there is enough free space, then try the following actions:

- If the installation is done from the operating system: completely disable its antivirus software.
Another possible cause of the error is corrupted files on the installation disk.
Try to overwrite the installer again, using stable versions of the recommended software, re-download them from the official sites of developers.
