Turn off antivirus
If error 0x80070570 occurs while copying files to your hard drive, your antivirus program is probably interfering with this. Of course, the antivirus is concerned about the security of the system, but in this case, it is necessary to disable it for a while. This will help you copy the files to the correct location. To properly disable the antivirus, you need to contact the application manufacturer. Usually, the official website of the antivirus application manufacturer contains all the detailed instructions for disabling the program.
Examine disk
If you are going to use this method - checkout more information about CHKDSK here. This method is safe but if you are going to restore some of your deleted files - do it before you use this method. It's essential.
It's the time to check your disk:
Open "This PC" and select the system partition with the right mouse button. Then select the "Properties" menu, go to the "Tools" tab and click the "Check" button. Next, select the "Automatically fix system errors" checkbox and click the Start button.
If this method did not help, you can run a disk scan using the command line:
Press Windows Key + X to open the menu and select Command Prompt (administrator) from the list.
Next enter "chkdsk X: /f" and press Enter.
Note that the X is the drive to scan, replace it with the appropriate letter.
Chkdsk scan checks the disk for bad sectors and fixes them on its own. However, this program is not as harmless. Undoubtedly, Chkdsk does a great job, but it cuts all your data into small chunks indiscriminately. However, if you have used DiskInternals Partition Recovery in advance, then you have nothing to fear! After completing the scan of the system partition, it is worth repeating the process for other drives on your computer.
Create installation media
If you are unable to install Windows 10/11 on your computer due to error 0x80070570, you can simply copy the installation from DVD to your hard drive. Then, just start the installation of the system from there.
Alternatively, you can use the Windows 10/11 ISO file from your computer or a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 10/11. Create Windows 10/11 installation media using the Media Creation Tool. It doesn't take much time or effort.
Change BIOS preferences
If the previous method did not allow you to install Windows 10/11, you can try enabling the RAID function in BIOS. For detailed instructions on how to access the BIOS and how to enable this feature, refer to your motherboard manual.
Then, try to start installing the operating system again. If you can't see your hard drive, go back to BIOS, disable RAID, and try running setup again.
