Hi all,
I'm a real noob when it comes to SSDs... well, I was
Anyway, so my first SSD came in the mail today along with my new PC. Long story short, I booted into the preloaded Win10 and immediately resetted it (doing a full reset which wipes the entire drive - the long way). Anyway, once it was completed, I got a blue screen with all the typical Windows 10 blah, I'm broken again, blah blah. Basically, the only phrase that was important was: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.
Anyway, after a quick Google, I figured out that I never should have wiped it as it is a SSD. Now I'm burning my Win10 iso - hoping to reinstall Windows.
Ok, so here's my question - what now? Should I go ahead, format the drive and reinstall Win10? Or should I Securely Erase my SSD using a live disk first? Am I missing something?
