Destroyed Hard Disk

past few days, due to blue screens of win10 of my laptop and its been looping in repairs and reboots (could still boot into safe mode though, and reinstall did not help), i tried to fix by factory reset with the generated usb bootable recovery flash drive

but becoz of a stuck in the middle and overlooked the procedures, i had accidentally done with CLEANs and CONVERTED TO PGT for all the two existing disk partitions.

and then it could not boot anything at all, and only showed PXE-E61 error, as well as no boot device found.

So what reliable and safe softwares might i use on usb flash drive to boot up the system so that I may format the hard disk?

but as it could not boot up the factory usb bootable flash drive, i am not sure if, due to the current status of hard disk (not only no boot found but also not recognized?), the system had already lost some fundamental drivers to read from different pheripherals

Please help.

I would suggest to send your hard disk locally to any specialized service for restoring lost data. Not that the tools such as Recuva or EaseUS Data recovery do not work but it is better to let the job to any technicians. Just saying.

If a fresh installation of your operating system did not help you have bigger problems. If factory reset fails you should contact your laptop manufacturer if it is still under warranty. You may be able to recover your data with recovery software on another PC, but that is a gamble and you need to know what you're doing. Since you asked I recommend R Drive Image. For more intensive work I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro Ultimate. But to be honest it looks as though you are having a serious hardware issue and I am not sure you will be able to install an operating system on your laptop. You could test this by inserting a functional formatted drive into your laptop and running Linux from a USB stick to see if it installs. I suggested Linux because it is free for personal use and relatively easy to install. If Linux installs try a fresh from scratch installation of Windows 10 with the laptop offline. You can get online later to get your updates and verify your license. I hope this helps.

At this point, four months later, it would be good to hear what the OP decided to do. ???

If possible, I would have pulled that HD out of the laptop and slaved it to my main Desktop PC, where I could access it and hopefully copy off any data files, then try to reformat it and install Windows afresh.

Indeed. Perhaps I should have suggested looking up a YouTube video on booting the same model of PC from BIOS with a recovery drive. I suppose this one will remain a mystery.
