UPDATE:

 

Installed Windows on the dekstop from the USB drive. Everything worked fine.

 

Put HDD back in laptop, attempted clean installation of Windows on the 291GB partition, still won't install. When expanding Windows files, progress reached 46%, then:

 

Windows cannot access the installation sources. Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation.
