My Dell 5559 laptop shutdown suddenly due to power outage. After that, when I tried to turn it on, it gave an error:
A disk read error occuredPress Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have been looking at all sorts of solutions for this but seem to hit a wall with every single one.
The SSD drive is recognized when I go to Boot options > System information. Here the volume and its capacity are listed correctly.
I made a bootable USB with Windows 10 ISO and booted the laptop using this. Went to Repair windows option > Command prompt.
When I enter diskpart
command and then use list disk, the SSD disk is listed as:
Disk 0 Online 119 GB
Here I have tried several options.
- Tried
chkdsk /f
but it doesn't work since my primary partition where Windows has been installed has turned to RAW. - Tried
bootrec /fixmbr
but it says thatThe system cannot find the file specified
. - Tried to format and delete the partition to try a clean install using
format fs=ntfs
anddelete volume override
but it also returned errorThe system cannot find the file specified
.
What can I do in this situation? Data on this partition is not important and I am ready to format and do a clean Windows installation.
Please assist!
