Acer desktop can't format

kansav · January 2019

I have Acer Veriton M4630G desktop pc. It was worked properly before hdd impaired. Impaired HDD's capacity was 500 GB. I bought a new 120 GB ssd hdd. I replace hdd and try format but can't format. Because i can only boot from network. In bios under advanced tab i see hdd in ahci port 1 but can't see it in boot options. hard disk drive priority is empty. Also optical disk drive priority and removable device priority empty. i try to press f12 for boot menu, only network boot showing. so i can't format to my pc. how can i solve this problem. i took screenshots in bios. please help.

Is this your ssd?

You should make a pendrive with the boot of windows 10, like this:

Hello! On the bios, create a password in the set supervisor password and look for the option to disable the secureboot. In launch csm, leave in never so that uefi mode is enabled.

In another notebook, open the power shell as administrator and enter the following commands to convert the pendrive to gpt and format it in fat32: diskpart, disk list, x disk (x is the number of the pendrive), clean, , convert gpt, create partition primary, format fs = fat32 quick, assign. In each command give an enter!

Then download the only x64 iso from windows here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

under authentication tab secure boot option is already disabled. launch csm options are "always and never"... I looked at the boot options but no uefi mode

When you disable csm, uefi mode is active!
