Trying to boot laptop from windows 10 media creation tool usb, after an interrupted clean install, but after the HP splash screen, it only shows a lit black screen with no cursor, UNLESS I disconnect the HDD. With the HDD disconnected I can access the advanced options, command line, but as soon as I connect the HDD, the screen goes black.

Model: HP 15-BS113DX laptop, touchscreen
