Fatal error when installing bitcoin core, help

[poweron]

Hi,
I have have tried to install bitcoin core a few times over the last few days.

Every time I start the process I get through the sync part, which does not show as progress.

When the progress begins to be displayed, usually around the 5% progress I get the following from the debug log;

The only difference in progress through all installation attempts so far, is the "Unable to open" block number.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Based on above error message (i only take few relevant lines), either your HDD (most likely reason), your USB/SATA cable or your motherboard (specifically USB/SATA controller) are the the fault.

For now, please use use software such as CrystalDiskInfo to see if there are any problem with your HDD.

P.S. Windows 7 no longer receive update, consider use different OS.

Hi ETF..,
Thanks for the quick response.

I used the suggested CrystalDiskInfo software which advises all is good as far as I understand.

I have considered upgrading ISO but will retain on this laptop, upgrade when I upgrade hardware.

Thanks again for the help, any further advice would be most welcome, I posted the results of advised scan below in case it helps provide further advice.

Quite possibly a Windows "permissions" error with the D:\blocks folder.

Make sure the folder permissions are set correctly and/or you are running Bitcoin Core as the correct user.

Maybe try running Bitcoin Core as administrator?

It's also possible that you Antivirus is blocking access to the file/folder... Temporarily disable it and see if the error stops. If so, add an exception for Bitcoin Core or that particular folder and see if that stops it.
