    Fail to reload from recovery drive after erasing C:


    Asus laptop, originally Windows 8, upgraded to Windows 10. Needed to reset and erase my data so that it was safe to sell machine. Created bootable recovery disk on 32GB memory stick, made sure boot order put USB stick ahead of hard disk, then rebooted.

    Went to command prompt then wiped disk by formatting:
    format c: /P:2
    Closed command line window then selected to restore from my recovery drive. Says it was recovering, but then get message:
    There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made.

    Have trawled the web for answers but they all assume you still have a system on C:. Have tried all the command line fixes I can find. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    :)

  3. Recovery Drive

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your concern. In some cases, this could happen if you created a system restore point on your computer. Windows will use the recovery drive to revert to the previous time where your computer is working properly, or where you created
    it. Please don't attempt to put any files in the recovery drive or the restore process will fail. To give you more suggestion and helpful information, we would like to more about your computer. Please answer the question below:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer before this issue occurs?
    • Have you install Windows Update before getting the Recovery drive?
    • Which version of Windows are you using? To check it, follow the steps through this
      link.

    In the meantime, you can check the files inside the recovery drive and confirm if there are essential files that you need.

    We'll be waiting for your response.
