Try a different USB disk.

Answer 4

Hi, thanks for your reply! Can you explain how the harddrive Can be broken by a reformat?

And if its covered by warranty?

The cmd prompt Said “Unable to White on This drive”

I just remembered that I actually pressed “delete” at my main drive and then I pressed “new” is that the thing I did wrong?

Hi Daniel! I hope you are well. My name is, Zadee. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear about your experience. I'll try my best to help you today.

The error code indicate a possible bad HDD/SSD. Heads up, that might need to be replaced. But for now let's ry running the chkdsk command from the boot drive you made.

1. Boot from the the USB again
2. Once the installation window apepar, click "Repair this PC"
3. Click Troubleshoot > Command prompt
4. Type chkdsk /r (Enter)

Let me know how it goes.
