Question Computer wont start

[pats1407]

Hi!
My son has a Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3. When he got the computer, it came with Windows 11. He found it difficult to manage, and a Chrome OS variant called Fyde OS was installed. Now he is a little older and wanted Windows again.

Then I tried to install an ISO file of Windows 11, and I got the Win installation program running. But it can't find any hard drive. Then, stupidly enough, I erased the hard drive on the computer via Bios. Now it refuses to start with anything at all, not USB, nothing. The only thing it shows is some form of internet access and a mac address. The hard drive that is in it is an M.2 drive of the Samsung brand.

How do I get the hard drive working again so I can install Windows? Can anyone help me?

how did you erased the hard drive via bios?

Source for Windows 11 ISO?

What procedure was followed to create the bootable windows installation drive?

For example:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?msockid=1f38fc24b2d16cf3050fe940b39e6d87

Are you sure that the USB drive/stick is good and not corrupted or defective?

Lenovo has a option to erase the harddrive in bios

I went to microsoft.se and now I have created a bootable USB, this USB works, but when the option to choose a disk to install windows on, it do not recognise my Samsung HDD. I am now thinking about, if Fyde OS did make something with the harddrive , so it is only possible to read Chrome OS systems? .GPT, MBR? Is it possible in any way to do anything with the terminal that is availebale on the win usb stick, to find the harddrive and make it possible for windows to see it?
Sorry for my bad english skills on the keyboard....

May try putting the SSD in a different machine and formatting it

Now my problem is solved. I tried another option for the harddrive in bios, something that started with an A i think. Suddenly Windows install was able to find my harddrive. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out.
