I have a hard drive that after attempting to dual boot ended up useless. I finally got some files off it and was ready to wipe it and start over. Windows 10 wouldn’t install so I deleted everything, formatted entire drive, created new primary partition-still nothing. Using command prompts I cleaned the drive, created a new primary partition and tried to format it. After saying it was 100% completed, it said, “DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.”
I’ve tried clean all command for a more thorough job and gotten the same error. Hard drive test says it’s good. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
Opp’s, forgot that.

Best way,
“Off topic but if anyone has any advice on new laptop hard drives”
Maybe SSD.
Note: you do not defrag an SSD.
” I’m just gonna get the cheapest 1 TB”
That’s what I would do.

Thanks.
