charles_s51 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I need to reformat my hard drive but am unable to load the bios setup or anything. It finally says "your pc needs to e repaired, error code 0x0000034" when I select boot options the only options listed are : boot from efi file or notebook ethernet ipv4. I just want to get a cmd prompt so I can use diskpart to re-partition. Any help would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx Redneck Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hola @charles_s51 Are you unable to get into bios by tapping F10 immediately upon boot? If you get into the bios and the drive is not seen, it's either failed or there's other hardware problems. If you're intending to reformat and start fresh in the first place, does the laptop not boot from a usb/disc? Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tx Redneck Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Do you have another computer that you could slave the hdd/ssd in a dock to? Are you also not able to get into the bios? Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigsy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Sounds like the HD is failing....I would get a diagnostic tool from the manufacturer and run that. It should boot from USB/disk so no need to worry about getting into BIOS. If you have the windows 10 iso (And a licence key); and your not worried about data on the disk run Dariks Boot and Nuke (Link below) then do a clean install of windows and partition as you go. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_s51 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Thanks for the reply. I have tried a win 10 iso usb as well as dvd...no boot device found... I have removed the h/drive and docked it to my desktop...I then formatted it ntfs quick, re-installed it into laptop but still no boot and the dvd still is not recognized.

So you were able to successfully able to dock it on another laptop and see it to reformat? If this is the case I would put it in the dock again and run a HD diagnostic tool on it from the manufactures website. If you've reformatted it and it clears test - Then I would look at creating a new bootable iso as this may be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
