So my laptop fell asleep and when I went to power it back on it wouldn't load. So after waiting for a while I did a hard shutdown. When I restarted it it went to the windows repair screen and after waiting for hours I decided to hard shutdown and just do a clean install.
However when creating a partition scheme I am unable to formathe the partition for windows. Partition 0 is the standard 100my system reserve and I can format that just fine. Partition 1 which is 100Gb I can not format. When I try it throws error 0x80070057. If I try to install to it, it says windows can't be installed and stops. The last partition is 10th (roughly) and I can format it and it works fine.
So I'm pretty sure the Hardo shutdowns have corrupted the partition in a read only state so I can't write to it. However using disk on my Linux I can create a new partition table and set a MBR even if I partition it on Linux it fails on Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to be able to use those sectors of my hard drive.

***I also forgot to add that checks shows no errors or problems with the drive at all***
