Hi guys I have a very strange case that I need help with. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
I purchased a new Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-77UC from Amazon that came without an operating system.
Due to a convoluted reason I ended up installing Ubuntu. But I wanted Windows 10. So I eventually downloaded Windows 10 iso from the Microsoft website and tried to install it but when the installation program went to the part to select disk to install Windows however there was no HDD recognised.
I have tried the following solutions.
1: used Command Prompt from the installation program, tried diskpart to clean but diskpart did not recognise the Hdd either.
2: installed Hirens Boot CD on a USB stick. Loaded up the program and used Disk Genius, EaseUS partition manager and AOMEI to wipe the HDD clean it and reinstall the partition. After a restart the windows installation program still didn't recognise the HDD.
3: Whilst in the Hirens Boot CD operating system the HDD is recognised, so I tried to install Windows whilst in there. This time the installation program recognises the HDD, and I can delete the partition, format it and create new partition. Windows then installs but when it does its first restart I get a blue screen error that says "Inaccessible_Boot_Device"
At this point I've no idea what to do going forward.
As I said any help would be much appreciated.
