Hello,

I recently powered on my gaming computer 9/30/24 after it had been left off for months. Everything booted up just fine and a little ways into startup windows froze, I did a hard power down at that point. When i tried to power back on windows would not boot. The message was something about insert proper drive...

I tried troubleshooting with a recovery flash drive using cmnd prompt but have not been able to get anywhere. The whole drive seems to be write protected which makes reformatting the EFI partition impossible. when i look at the SSD in diskpart it appears that my windows and recovery partitions appear to be stuck as RAW. I ran chkdsk but that hasn't fixed the issue...

In my screenshot, the SSD in question is Volumes 4-6 where volume 4 is my windows 5 is my EFI and 6 is my recovery.

Would greatly appreciate any help, I'm really stuck!

@leaden gorge I did solve it. I ended up just wiping the drive and starting with a fresh install of windows... is what is...
