Topic: Fatal error when installing bitcoin core, help (Read 289 times)

Sorry, my bad. I will look out next time... I'm new to all of this

Please, try to read the previous replies, check if the OP is still actively responding, look at the post timestamps and check if the topic was already answered first before posting a new reply.
I've seen some of your posts and most of them are insubstantial because it was already mentioned by others in the same thread (except for one).

Regarding your post here, the OP listed his specs in the second post:

Diskspace issue, try using SSD or add more storage space to your device.

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.

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.

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
