Cannot access. C Drive

Hello,
What exactly happens now when you start the machine? After manufacturer's logo screen, what do you see?
If you use a bootable USB for fresh install, do you see the SSD partitions to install?
If you've not used bootable USB till now, you must create it using another system to try making clean install with that. While making clean install, you can format the drive first and then install Windows.
Regards.
- If I try to boot from the drive, it eventually tries to repair and always fails.
The restore from Dell is a disk and it tried to install the first time, then failed and would not try again.
I have no way to make a windows 10 bootable drive because the only Win10 computer I have is the one that is broken. I tried to make a bootable media stick on my Windows 7 machine but it kept refusing to download because it was not compatible with my Win7 operating machine.In that case, I would suggest you to take the machine to nearest computer repair shop and let the technician confirm that drive is not malfunctioned. If the drive is okay, technician can help you to get it formatted, so you can make clean install then.
Good luck!- Is there a command line I can use that will format the SSD drive C: ? The drive has no problems. The disk I purchased is for a fresh install. When I try to open anything with the DVD drive It gives me the option to use a command line. I prefer to try this first, I have done this with other operating systems, Just not Win 10.
