He’s facing issues with his computer trying to resolve minor errors on the hard drive. After hours of waiting, it only reaches around 20% and restarts the troubleshooting cycle repeatedly. He’s managed to bypass it by pressing a key just before it begins, but this doesn’t help since he can’t access settings or run commands. Safe mode didn’t work either. The drive is a 2TB Barracuda model, and he’s using Windows 10 on it. Would it be best to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 and start fresh? No specific details were provided, so wiping the drive might be a good option. Thanks for your help!
