HP Pavilion - 15
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi all, 

Most unexpectedly, during installing the image from recovery discs, the process failed third way through saying that "the destination drive is not connected - Error OXEFFFF24". (the laptop worked well before but the start button had to be pressed harder to start up, so I thought to reinstall the whole image, oops)

Now it won't do anything, doesn't pick up Repair disc I also created even though I changed the boot order to start with CD drive, and installing Win 7 didn't work either as the disc is of the GPT partition style.

 

Would somebody have an idea if buying & installing Windows 10 is likely to work, please? Or what else I could do 🙂 ? Thank you so much
