Please have anyone have knowledge on how to fix checking media fail on pc.
I noticed my pc was infected with virus so I tried to do factory reset and I left it to finish but after it load then tried to boot on back it keeps turning on and off for like an hour so I forced it off by holding the power button then I go online and find help on YouTube then I tried used the repair tools but I got this error “Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
so I tried to fix it through help on YouTube with all effort to get the error wipe out still didn’t work out.
so I tried to put another windows using the flash drive method but still the erorr is blocking it to read my usb .
now I think I had wiped out my disk from disk part by using the clean all volume 0 so I’m stucking on CHECKING MEDIA FAIL can’t even access the troubleshooting from system recovery anymore
pls any suggestions on what to do
