Unable to boot Windows on laptop.

Copper Contributor

Hi,

we are facing a problem on the laptop used to repair a Surface Hub v2 Image HD(WIndows Team).

We followed these steps https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/surface-hub/surface-hub-recovery-tool.

After following the steps and created the brand new image, we booted the new HD on a laptop to check the integrity of the installation; During normal installation process a fatal error occured ("We are sorry, something went wrong"). Mounting the original HD to the laptop it no longer start windows OS.

What we tried without success:

  • Reinstalling Windows OS via DVD, Usb Boot (does not even start installation process)
  • Reinstalling Bios
  • Disable Secure Boot 
  • Restore Secure Boot Key to the factory
  • Removing the Cmos battery
  • Changing HD

What we can do:

  • Installing windows Vista
  • installing Linux Ubuntu

We don't know what else we can try to restore the laptop.

 

Laptop Info:

  • Brand ASUS
  • Model P3540F

 

Thank you in advance.

Just throwing something out there.....

Run diskpart on that drive and do the clean command, then reinitialize and format that drive.
