Hello,
I have already made my problem known through another post however I have one final idea to try but I can't do it due to some problems.
I want to try a fresh windows 10 install on my C: drive (SSD) however when i plug in my USB and get to the windows install menu all my partitions are shown but my C: drive lacks sufficient space to install. I only have 8.1 gig available when it requires 9.9 gig for fresh install.
I have tried to format the drive and it registers like it is working but then just resets the partition page and the drive is still registering the same capacity as before. I tried to format my HDD 1TB and it worked fine and erased everything and I could install Windows 10. The only problem with this is my HDD doesn't appear in my boot menu for some unknown reason. When I click add boot option it gives me no file path to check except for my SSD path (KINGSTON)
I have opened the repair my pc path and tried every fix available including using command prompt checkdisk , select the SSD and clean all function and it all registers with no errors and says it has completed succesfully but when I reboot and return to the windows install menu once again it shows me I still only have 8.1 gig available and cannot install windows due to insufficient space.
So overall I suspect my SSD is somehow corrupted but also my second query is why wouldn't my HDD show up in the boot menu and why is there no option for me to add it?
I have tried the basic options with secure boot off and fast boot off and nearly every other option in between
Specs as follows
ASUS ROG Strix II GL504GM
NVIDIA GTX 1060
INTEL i7-8750H
16GB RAM
BIOS version 311
