    Hi @GusWii,

    You are using Windows 11, there is a known issue when you install sql server 2022 on Windows 11.

    Try one of the resolutions in this article.

    If this do not work, in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log there is one folder per install attempt. The one of most interest is Detail.txt. Feel free to attach it here.

    Regards，

    Zoe Hui

    You are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for some disk drives reports a sector size that SQL Server does not cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.
