thank you for the responce here is my issue, last night i try upgrading to the 28000.1643 and something went wrong doring the upgrade when the machine rebooted i got the error code 0x800706BE- 0x4002F i cant even do a clean install, for what i was reading it has to do with a issue that it see my HD as foreign i need a toll that can help me unmount the drive .....what is the best way to do this....thank you
Upgrading to 28000.1643 (from what build and by what method) or updating to 28000.1643? Clean install means an install from boot, removing the partitions and repartition the system drive, that is hard to block. I can google the error code but you can do that too.
i updated from the 25H2 at this moment i cant do anything if a bootup i get bitlocker input the key....i have it i imputei the key it takes me to repair menu i try rolling it back cant i try doing a clean install i cant keeps giving me the same error code is almost like if the drive is bricked ....some times it tells install corruption of foreign drive.....how can i fix this...and my drive was never locked using bitlocker MS screw me!!!!
That is probably the cause, i never will enable bitlocker. But when you clean install and remove the existing partitions, bitlocker should be gone too.
no my drive was never encrypted ......thats what pisses off but i have the key and still i cant do anything not even DOD WIPE works.....any other ideas?
If it never was encrypted then there wouidn't be a key I had to deal with this bitlocker crap just once, some friend accidentally got tricked into using a MSA (online windows account) by forgetting to disable the option to use the sign in for windows entirely. I found the key and instantly disabled it.
if your machine uses a MS account MS generates a bitlocker key ....if you go to settings account and scroll down to link devices you will see your computer and at the bottom bitlocker information you click the link and it will show you the key....but i never use BitLocker ever MS creates it for you with out no concept .....good ground for a law sue
now how can i get this hd working this NVMe is 2TB fifth generation this drives cost almost 400 dollars
When you are not able to repartition using windows setup (from boot) then boot from a winpe like DaRT or other live environment (strelec) usb and you should be able to clean whipe the drive. TIP: never use an online account or check what bitlocker is set to do before you upgrade.
thank you i appreciate your help this is very frustrating ....do you have a link for Dart is here at MDL?
Boot a Linux LiveUSB and run this (wipes NVMe and trims it): Code: sudo blkdiscard --force --verbose '/dev/nvme0n1' && sudo nvme format '/dev/nvme0' --force --namespace-id='1' --lbaf='0' --reset --ses='1' --pil='0' --pi='0' --ms='0' It'll no-question be Unpartitioned and ready to go as-is for a clean Windows install! Likely have to switch SATA to AHCI (mainstreams afaik don't auto-boot VMD/Intel RST; AHCI's easier just to wipe the drive)
