Windows 10: Is formatting the solution any of hardware problems?

Please help.

So my pc is hp pavillion x360 if it matters and it has been showing the following message for past two days "no booting device found. Press any key"

And i am have tried every solution found in youtube. Most videos suggests to enable a bios setting but mine was initially enabled and the last solution i found was to insert a WINDOWS USB (also my windows has expired. Is it essential to buy the product key?)

So i have sent my pc to a tech and he is simply suggesting to format nothing else and my dad says he is best tech in town. Ugh.

However, i don't need my c drive. I have all my important files in other(d & e ) drives.

What should i do?

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!

 

Cannot Format HD


Need to initialize it as GPT disk type with HD > 2TB:
From Admin command prompt:

1. diskpart
2. list disk =====> Take a note of disk # for the 4TB HD
3. select disk # ====> From step 2
4. clean

Open Disk Management and initialize the disk as GPT, create simple then format.

 

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
