Hello friends so basically I tried to take my pavilion X2 as a normal pc and inserted my uefi usb with my windows and I tried installing windows mistakenly I "deleted " the boot , recovery and system partition but it stuck like they aren't deleted and the partitions has files into them although when I try to use them I get fatal errors like they don't exist as they don't exist.
So I format my normal partition it's the only one I can format and actually delete it .when the installation finish it says it failed and I should re do it again but that happens every time
Things I've tried
Disabling secure boot
Installing a different version of Windows 10
With enabled secure boot
I have no clue what to do I need assistance

Hi
My last offering
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-clean-and-format-storage-drive-using-diskpart-windows-10
You now have enough info solve your problem.
AND if you shutdown with the Turn On fast Start-Up box ticked, checked, then that is the root cause of your problem.
It sets the partition to suspend and sets the Dirty bit.
Bye.

Hi
Try a recovery OS like...
Windows 10
or
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-best-rescue-disks-windows-system-restore/
So you tried things, and what state is the PC currently in?
Gparted is a good option. It may be inside Knoppix or make a standalone.
If in doubt please ask.

So the machine is at the state of opening to the USB walkthrough the whole windows installation only it cannot delete any partition I can format the main partition though but when I do it fails
I just came home from work, I went to command propt and it appears that all the deleting I did , achieved nothing because when I list disked and looked into the partition all the partitions are at the size of how they were before I "deleted" them
I wonder should I clear all the partitions via command prompt or somehow recover that,
I'm sorry but the information you gave me was extremely too much to understand

Hi
You do know that if W10 was not Shutdown PROPERLY the partition is in suspend mode, with the Dirty Bit set.
Effectively making it read only, and a REAL big problem to overcome.
So if you boot aDVD/USB and go into command prompt and try to run chkdsk or whatever it would be a start.
Away from home and on a dog currently, so a full answer will have to wait.
MS do tools that may overcome the problem, else search dirty bit setting on t'internet.

The problem is that all this didn't happen because of a premature shutdown but I deliberately wanted to format my tablet thinking it would work exactly like a laptop. so I went on about deleting the partitions which I'm honestly confused if I did or did not achieve. As it seems they have 0 files in them as they don't function, but they do take up space.
Enjoy your walk by the way take your time friend .
I currently try to make a system image from my working desktop in a USB to try and use that to recover it will update you about that when its done.
EDIT: it says the storage is too low to recover or something along those lines I'm basicly translating it.

NoMicrosofts preferred setting is
Enable Fast Start Up
So when you shutdown you get a suspend and a dirty bit set.
Like I said research it.
It can sometimes be mounted read only so that data can be copied off.
