I format my windows 10 Hp 15-af114AU laptop. After resetting the pc it was in the process of installing windows when my battery went dead. So when i powerup the installation was at 67% with the two status message below the percent bar which reads, installing features and drivers(highlighted in dark blue) and the other message configuring settings. The installation seems to be continuening with the percentage upto 98% and reboots over again and again looks like the same process is happening there.I needed help on how to proceed with these issue.
Thanks

Never, never, never ...Install an operating system or upgrade the BIOS without first connecting external power from a power adapter.
You will need to use a utility called Diskpart to reset your hard disk before installing Windows.
Are you using a recovery flashdrive to install Windows?
