New Predator 17 HD missing after Rapid Storage turn it into recovery drive

I followed the tutorial precisely, the disk is still readonly.

Right! try this: diskpart, list disk, sel disk 1, list vol, sel vol x, attributes disk clear readonly!

I tried this but there's no associated volume with that disk anymore so there's nothing to select.

I'm pretty sure the read only issue is tied to the RST because I can't remove the disk from the RST volume in the software or bios.

try this:

Go on this computer; right-click the drive, and then click Properties, click Security, click Everyone, edit, and click Allow!

The drive is not visible under This PC, it only appears in Device Manager, Diskpart and RST.

Try this:

1) Open the Registry Editor. This can be done by pressing the "Windows" key and typing "regedit". An application named "regedit.exe" will request administrator permission to run; click "OK".

2) Find the directory named "ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM"

Once you have navigated to the key, select

"CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Storage \ DevicePolicies"

3) Write Protect value appears. Right-click on this option (where it is labeled 1).

4) Change the value from 1 to 0, and press OK.

5) Apply the changes and restart the computer.

6) When the computer is turned on, right-click the drive letter and click Format

There's no option "Device Policies" under CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Storage

just:
EnabledDenyGP
RegCacheState
StorageTelemetry

Face! I think now you should enter safe mode and use the same readyonline command or try to use the pendrive with windows!

You can try the following too! Disconnect the hd from the notebook, uninstall the rst program and then reconnect the hd and enter the same commands:

Honestly I feel like handing this laptop back and getting a refund, I have never had any problems with a brand new laptop before, let alone something like this.

I tried doing a factory reset and the disk doesn't show up, the factory reset is meant to completely clean the disks so how can raid still be on it??

This is just insane.

Check first if in acer quick access program, there is an option called switch lock!
What is the bios version? Did your notebook come from the factory with ssd or hd? If it came with ssd, check if disconnecting the ssd from the notebook and leaving only hd the problem solves!

However to try to solve the problem, you should have a windows 10 startup disk and press shifit + f10 and type the same command to delete the readyonly! Then exit the installation, turn off the notebook and connect the ssd again!
It is not to install windows 10 on hd, but rather to use the boot disk just to try to erase the readonly with the disconnected ssd from the notebook!
