[SOLVED] SSD Partitions Unable To Be Deleted

[evan2005car]

Hello everyone. I recently bought a new M.2 SSD as an upgrade for my laptop that originally only came with a super slow 5400 RPM Hard Drive. At first i tried to clone the hard drive to the SSD, however when i went to boot off of the SSD it would not boot and would get stuck in a boot loop that ended with Windows automatic repair. I then tried to perform a clean install of windows onto the SSD, however it was unable to install due to the partitions on the SSD from cloning it. So then i went and tried to delete the partitions from the SSD using the Diskpart cmd line, however this resulted in an error that says ", Diskpart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect. See the system event log for more information. At this point i had given up and turned to the community for help. Anything helpful would be greatly appreciated.
