Can't reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop.

[shkvizzle]

Hi,

I've accidentally wiped my SSD with diskpart and I've tried ever since to reinstall Windows 10. I've tried many different approaches and none of them worked; every time I am on the install screen, it doesn't even get to 1% before telling me that the SSD/HDD are wrongly formatted. The messages aren't even consistent. It seems to ask for FAT32, yet when I do that it asks for NTFS. When I try to install it on a drive with unallocated space, it also didn't work.

I installed Kubuntu to see if my hard drives were maybe broken, but I could install it without issues. I'm at a dead end, does anyone have any other ideas?

Did you create a restore disk when you first received your laptop? If not, then you should contact the laptop manufacturer for a restore disk (typically at cost).

you don't normally need to wipe drive before clean installing win 10 as its part of the installation process.

you could restart PC and try this
Press alt Shift F10 on the installation screen, this will open cmd
type diskpart and press enter
type list disk and press enter
this shows all drives available, DVD/USB and hdd, make note of hdd number
type Select disk X - where X is the number of the hdd you want to wipe, change X to that number and press enter
once the drive you want to install on is chosen, type Clean
restart PC and try installer again

that wipes drive again and may let you continue
