This error is linked to STIERR_Invalid_HW_Type
which is a related to windows unable to communicate with a connected
scanner, camera, or other device.

When you disconnected all external devices (or the shared partition), you
probably cleared the error and was able to proceed.

What it may have needed was the driver installed earlier in the installation
process if you want to install windows with this device connected. Being an
upgrade, and not a clean install, I would think the driver already present
which kind of implies the shared partition was the problem.

But, I don't really know and found this interesting.
