You're encountering a common issue when trying to refresh your OS. The error about the hard drive being locked usually means the system can't access it for updates. Try these steps:
- Restart your computer and wait a few minutes before attempting again.
- Check if the drive is detected by restarting your PC or using Disk Management.
- If the problem persists, consider formatting the drive temporarily to resolve access issues.
Let me know if you need further help!

Sorry, we're friends in real life. He understands my humor Skreeds, I wasn't able to catch you on teamspeak last night, but this is what I was going to suggest if you hadn't found it already: 1. Enter Bios 2. Find Advanced settings, or SATA OPERATION settings. 3. Change the setting from Smart Response Technology, and set to AHCI, or, maybe you will need to set to ATA. 4. Boot and do a system refresh. 5. Go back and change back to Smart Response. Otherwise, if you haven't since switching to an SSD from that hard drive, and all of that "stuff" "that store" did to it, a clean install might just be in need.
