bootcamp – Error code 0xD000A000 – 0x40031 when putting in Home windows 11 25H2

TL;DR

There are setup info (.inf) information that must be eliminated or renamed. With respect to the Boot Camp Help Software program 5.1.5621 information copied to the flash drive, this may be carried out by coming into the next instructions.

dot_clean -m /Volumes/Win11_25H2
pushd /Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64
mv autorun.inf autorun.infbad
popd

A Extra Detailed Rationalization

When the Home windows installer boots, a search is made within the root listing of all drives which were assigned a drive letter for a $WinPEDriver$ subdirectory. When a $WinPEDriver$ subdirectory is discovered, a recursive search is made on this subdirectory for every setup info (.inf) file. If the contents of a discovered setup info (.inf) file aren’t suitable with Home windows 11, then the window proven within the posted query will seem.

The next sections clarify the way to take away or rename setup info (.inf) information that aren’t suitable with Home windows 11.

Take away All Dot Underscore information

When the Finder software copies information to ExFAT-formatted volumes, hidden dot underscore information (._) may be created. Any information beginning with ._ and ending with .inf won’t be suitable with Home windows 11. The command beneath can be utilized to seek out such information within the $WinPEDriver$ subdirectory.

discover /Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$ -iname '._*.inf'

For the flash drive created within the query, executing the above command produces the next output.

/Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/AppleBluetoothBroadcom64/._AppleBTBC64.inf
/Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64/._autorun.inf
/Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64/DisplayAudio/._IntcDAud.inf
/Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64/Graphics/._igdlh64.inf

Since not one of the dot underscore information (._) on the USB flash are wanted to put in Home windows 11, the best answer is to take away all dot underscore information (._) from the amount labeled Win11_25H2 on the USB flash drive. The command to take action is given beneath.

dot_clean -m /Volumes/Win11_25H2

Rename Incompatible Setup Info Recordsdata

If the issue nonetheless persists after coming into the dot_clean -m /Volumes/Win11_25H2 command, then you need to use one of many strategies given beneath to seek out extra incompatible setup info (.inf) information within the $WinPEDriver$ folder.

• Technique 1: Use a digital machine.

  I’ve VirtualBox Model 6.1.34 r150636 (Qt5.6.3) put in on my 2011 iMac.

  The steps are given beneath.

  1. Enter the instructions given beneath to create a UDF formatting ISO file
     named BootCamp5.1.5621.iso containing the contents of the BootCamp5.1.5621 folder.

     pushd ~/Downloads
     hdiutil makehybrid -udf -o BootCamp5.1.5621 BootCamp5.1.5621
     popd
     

  2. Create a brand new Home windows 11 (64-bit) VirtualBox digital machine. I used the default settings aside from the next customizations.

     Setting	Default	Customized
     Base Reminiscence	4096 MB	2048 MB
     Chipset	PIIX3	ICH9
     Allow EFI (particular OSes solely)	Checked	Unchecked
     Processors(s)	2	1
     Optical Drive	Empty	Win11_25H2_English_x64.iso

  3. Begin the digital machine. Open a Command Immediate window by making the alternatives given within the desk beneath.

     Title	Kind	Selection
     Choose language settings	Button	Subsequent
     Choose keyboard settings	Button	Subsequent
     Choose setup possibility	Radio Button	Restore my PC
     Choose setup possibility	Button	Subsequent
     Select your keyboard format	Assortment	US
     Select an possibility	Assortment	Troubleshoot
     Superior choices	Assortment	Command Immediate

  4. Enter the instructions given beneath to find out which (if any) setup info (.inf) information aren’t suitable with Home windows 11. Begin by coming into the next instructions.

     diskpart
     choose disk 0
     clear
     create partition main
     format fs=NTFS label=BOOTCAMP fast
     assign letter=c
     exit
     copy d:sourcesboot.wim c:
     

     Within the settings for this digital machine, change file for the optical drive to BootCamp5.1.5621.iso. Afterwards, enter the next instructions.

     md c:mountboot
     dism /mount-image /imagefile:c:boot.wim /identify:"Microsoft Home windows Setup (amd64)" /mountdir:c:mountboot
     dism /picture:c:mountboot /add-driver /driver:d:$WinPEDriver$ /recurse
     dism /unmount-image /mountdir:c:mountboot /discard
     rd c:mountboot
     

     See the part titled “Appendix” for the output from these instructions. Amongst this output was the next error message.

     There was an issue opening the INF file. 
     d:$WinPEDriver$IntelHDGraphics64autorun.inf Error: 0xE0000100.
     

     The message means autorun.inf is incompatible with Home windows 11.

  5. With the flash drive inserted in a USB port, enter the next instructions in a macOS Terminal software window to rename the autorun.inf file.

     pushd /Volumes/Win11_25H2/$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64
     mv autorun.inf autorun.infbad
     popd
     

  6. Shutdown the digital machine by closing the Command Immediate window, then choosing “Flip off your PC”.

• Technique 2: Use a pc working Home windows 11.

  The steps are given beneath.

  1. Insert the flash drive right into a USB port on a pc working Home windows 11.

  2. Open an Administrator Command Immediate window.

  3. Enter the command given beneath to find out the drive letter
     assigned to the amount labeled Win11_25H2.

     echo record quantity | diskpart
     

     Notice: In case your drive letter will not be e:, then make the suitable drive letter substitutions when coming into the instructions given within the remaining steps.

  4. Enter the instructions given beneath to find out which (if any) setup info (.inf) information aren’t suitable with Home windows 11.

     md c:mountboot
     dism /mount-image /imagefile:e:sourcesboot.wim /identify:"Microsoft Home windows Setup (amd64)" /mountdir:c:mountboot
     dism /picture:c:mountboot /add-driver /driver:e:$WinPEDriver$ /recurse
     dism /unmount-image /mountdir:c:mountboot /discard
     rd c:mountboot
     

     See the “Appendix” part of this reply for the output from these instructions. Amongst this output was the next error message.

     There was an issue opening the INF file. 
     d:$WinPEDriver$IntelHDGraphics64autorun.inf Error: 0xE0000100.
     

     The message means autorun.inf is incompatible with Home windows 11.

  5. Enter the next command to rename the autorun.inf file.

     ren e:$WinPEDriver$/IntelHDGraphics64/autorun.inf autorun.infbad
     

  6. Shut the Administrator Command Immediate window.
