[QUOTE="turdb0, post: 540251, member: 83742"] The tablet currently doesn't have any partitions, because I deleted it with diskpart. Not sure if I should have done that, but before I deleted them, When I tried using the Win8.1 as well as Win10 Install Images for reinstall, neither of them detected storage when it got to the "(I)nstall" screen. I kept messing with it thinking it was the drivers not injecting into the Win Images. Then I realized that the disk had Bitlocker and I deleted the Partitions. I was going to recreate the partitions but diskpart thinks its a "removable disk" and doesn't allow me to perform certain operations. So... [ATTACH]67865.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67866.vB[/ATTACH] At this time, I basically have a disk with no partitions on it, what is the best way to get the tablet back to a state where I can perform the Windows install where it would recognize the storage? Would one option be to get the "Factory Backup Image" from somewhere and would that recreate all the partitions for me, as well as perform the Win8.1 reinstall? If so, if I were to purchase a used 5830, can I make a "Factory Backup Image" from that one and use that to restore my current one? At this point, I don't care whether it's Win8.1 or Win10, I just want to get this working again, and then I can go from there! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
