While doing a factory reset on Windows 10, my hard drive failed. It shut off during the reset and didn't turn back on. When I tried to power it on, it went into a loop of booting and crashing before ever reaching Windows. I went into BIOS and ran its diagnostics, which told me that my hard drive isn't functional anymore.
I have two Dell Inspiron 660s desktops. The other one wasn't working, so I took its hard drive and put it in the computer that had the hard drive fail. I want to reset Windows, but I don't want this hard drive to fail, too. Has anyone heard of this happening before? Was it just a coincidence, or did Windows cause it during the reset?
