I am trying to install windows 10 onto a computer. This should be a new/fresh install but I had motherboard issues and have since replaced the motherboard. When attempting to load the installation media windows is trying to recover my computer, which is not what I am trying to do.
Screen Messages:
- Recovery
- Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
- The operating system couldn't load because the kernel is missing or contains errors.
- File\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
- Error code: 0xc0000221
Then I get a bunch of recover tool options if I press F8 or Enter same message pops up. I am just trying to do a fresh operating system install, format disk, select disk for OS install. I am not sure if the disk contains a windows 10 install or not but regardless I get the same error message even when I disconnect the disk before booting, with installation media connected.
I have used both an OEM Windows 10 disk and USB installation media. I am using a Gigabyte motherboard B150M-D3H-GSM and am less familiar with the BIOS as I have always previously used ASUS but have been sent 2 bad motherboards that wouldn't post so I decided to make a switch. I checked and current motherboard is listed as windows 10 ready.
In the past Windows 7 new OS installs has been a breeze but this is only my second Windows 10 install that wasn't using a VM.
Any searches seem to be around either errors with windows already installed or errors after installation has started, to a disk...which is connected. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit Just confirmed the disk I was using is brand new, no OS previously installed.

Any chance of the DVD is corrupted? – Darius – 2017-03-16T15:42:37.253
I have tried both an OEM win 10 DVD and usb installation media that I created from an ISO file, that I have used to created Win 10 VM's with. – Matt – 2017-03-16T15:46:56.567
