tl;dr - My Lenovo Yoga 2 Windows died and I cannot reinstall it because the instalator doesn't see my hard drive.
Hello, I've been dealing with this problem for a longer while + went with my tablet to a few places to get it fixed with no results ( this being more of a case of the Bing isos being so damn hard to get )
Anyway, I own a Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet ( the 8 inch one ) and about a month and a half ago, the Windows ( 8.1 + Bing ) died. Note that long before its final demise, I had problems with it, like the default apps like Photo or Music freezing it to the point restart was necessary.
After it died, after a lot of pain I did finally get my hands on the correct iso file. I rejoiced for but a short moment as even with it, I could do nothing.
Let's start with reset and refreshing, which gave me "device couldn't be reset" and "hard drive is locked" errors respectively. Automatic reset doesn't work, it just BSOD's the device into restarting.
A fresh install of Windows is another problem; The in-built eMMC ( SanDisk SEM32G ) is not detected during the installation process and it's not detected in command prompt when I'm using diskpart ( It only shows me the recovery usb ). At this point I'm actually thinking that it's not the Windows that died but rather the disk drivers ( I have no idea where to download them, unless I'm stupid and it's so obvious I missed it )
The end result is that I have a tablet with unformatted disk/lack of disk drivers. Any help would be gladly appreciated, I don't want to have to buy a new device so soon.
