did you create a windows 10 usb installation
windows are great at formatting the hard drive when reinstalling windows
No sorry I ran chkdsk and got the message that the drive is write protected , when I select refresh PC it states that the drive with windows on is locked . Also as Brian stated earlier in this post that you cannot fresh install windows 10 using the ISO or media created windows 10 , I need to install windows 8.1 and then upgrade to windows ten , I'm pleased that it looks like there is not a problem with my systems hard drive as I was worried I'd need to spend a further £70.00 on a new hard drive , however I would like to avoid paying a computer tech , whose fee starts at £24.99 , my computer manufacturer gave me a recovery cd with windows 8.1 , I have seen on other forums where people who have had the same error have said that they need to buy another liecence to unlock the drive ....hopefully that's not going to be the case
