    Hard one to diagnose remotely unfortunately. Do you mean the hard drive was formatted? Did you use a corrupted image perhaps? Do you have a recovery partition? Backups?

        Sounds perhaps like the hard drive itself is corrupted or damage. You may be able to boot into Windows safe mode or recovery or use a stick to run a disk check. Of course if you've bought a new one then it's academic 😊 sorry I'm not sure how else to help!
