Setup error (error with code 0x0000005C)

Question

Greetings!

Please assist with the following error. When I tried to install W8 I received the error with code 0x0000005C and Parameters: 0x00000200; 0x05250631; 0x00000005; 0xC000000E.

I am installing it on my old laptop, which complies with minimal Win7 requirements. Should this necessarily mean that it complies with Win8 either?

Thank you in advance.

 

Answer 1

What re your PC specs? Do you try to install in VirtualPC as VM? In this case it doesn't work.

Use Hyper-V, VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation 8.

Hello PureEnergySBV,

 

Usually the Stop Error 0x0000005C indicates a hardware issue of some kind. I realize your attempting to install the Windows Developer Preview on a laptop but make sure all external devices are disconnected. I would also suggest checking to see if the laptop manufacturer has a BIOS update available.

 

Thanks

Same problem, on an Acer Aspire 9420.

Seems to be consistent with a lot of Acer Aspire laptops from what I have been searching.

Any help appreciated.
