Windows is paused in the "getting ready" state.
Windows is paused in the "getting ready" state.
Tested a new installation with three different SSDs. One was SATA 2.0 M.2, two were SATA 2.5. The media drive used an official one, while the others weren't. I did a fresh build without the SSDs, but those were wiped in the BIOS. I waited overnight on the ASUS board, AMD6700X, AMD 5700X, with 32GB RAM, 500GB NVMe WD M.2 and 1TB Chinese SATA 2.5 SSD.
I cleared every storage device, leaving no data available for recovery
