    Windows 10 Installation on my "accidentally wiped hard drive" won't work Read Description


    Hi I have a wiped hard disk and i'm getting stuck at the HP Logo or sometimes it displays a I/O error or sometimes other random errors. If you read this post you will know what happened: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/i-accidentally-wiped-my-hard-drive-what--1697-44b9-963b-8d1e7a7e19d3 Just to say that link it wasn't solved. It was just advice. It will be stuck for so many minutes then a error would come it would be a random error and my PC will just shutdown

    Wiped hard drive partitions keep coming back on Win10 Recovery disc

    Thanks all for taking the time to review my case.

    I guess my description was misleading.

    I meant I am unable to wipe hard drive`s partitions. Not the virtual drive ones.

    Step 1 - Boot error on normal startup saying a recent hardware or software change could be the cause

    Step 2 - Repair disc. Attempts to do startup repair but fails saying it could not do so.

    Step 3 - New OS installation. On partition delete, I attempted to delete existing partitions. Fails with message we couuldn`t format the drive.

    Step 4 - Launched command prompt repair and attempted clean. Though t says clean is successful, contents are still undeleted.

    Step 5 - Used partition manager within recovery cd, to format the hard drive of my tab. (32gb). Format says successful but the contents on hard drive came back.

    Step 6 - tried to convert partitions to MBR. No luck. Same issue.

    I am able to read my hard drive contents through to command prompt. So I am presuming no hard drive crash.

    Also virtual ccd works fine. So no processor issue I guess.

    I am damned for now unable to figure ouit what is the issue.
