Okay hi guys, am new here and to this whole computer installation thing so pardon me if i mentioned some stuff wrongly.
The story is this: I received a Asus ROG (unsure of the exact model) but it was filled with viruses because of the stuffs he torrented. Basically, the virus deleted portions of the system files and messed with the registry so even though the laptop was in the condition to play games, download new stuffs etc, I was not able to access the PC settings, uninstall downloaded software and etc. So here is the list of things i did after receiving the laptop:
1. (actually went full retard) and bought a recovery software for $28 which didn't really help while i think it would be able to recover the lost system files in the C:\ . (did automated repair with it).
2. Download a media creation tool for windows 8.1 from Microsoft and booted my laptop with it.
2a) I attempted to reset from here but there was a missing partition error.
2b) Using that i used the recovery tool to access CMD and used "clean all" (which i left my computer on for the whole night to complete it) (i dont clearly rmb if i cleaned the right drive , but i selected the 900++ GB one, which should be the main one? LOL).
From there, i installed Windows 8.1 using the recovery media and after that i performed another factory reset and finally, thinking i was almost done, i realized my SSD (assuming) is missing. There was a 900+ gb and 200~300+ gb drive on my laptop when i first got it.
I tried using EaseUS recovery wizard for the lost/deleted drives but to no avail. Checked my disk management and there is 0 unallocated drive. All i have is my C:\ (900+gb) drive and a 200+mb partition which is for booting.
PLEASE help, no idea what i should be doing and nothing i am finding on google is helping me so far
