Hi everyone,
Before 7 months I bought Asus Tuf Gaming FX505DY-BQ004 laptop, it has 256GB M.2 NVME SSD and 1TB 5400rpm HDD. It came without an OS, so I installed Windows 10 and installed all drivers and update for BIOS. I downloaded Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft website using media creation tool (I have desktop PC) and make bootable USB, installed Windows 10 on M.2 SSD, everything went great, I installed some games and programs, I used it 6 months without any issue until one morning. So on evening I put some games to download via Steam (nothing unusual, I did that before), laptop was plugged in and working normally, then I want to sleep and in morning I got surprise. Laptop was in BIOS, in BIOS are listed my drives, but there is not anything on boot list, so I grabbed same bootable USB and tried installing Windows 10, in installation I tried to format SSD and delete all windows partition, but it won't delete or format, so I proceed with installation and got error "Windows could not set offline locale information. Error code: 0x80000010". I tried to wipe SSD with MiniTool partition wizard without success, as you can see I don't care for data on SSD, I have all data on PC and I can install programs again. SSD is GPT in case you're wondering. Then I made Linux Mint bootable USB and boot in Linux without problems, in Linux both disk are listed and fully working, fully readable and writeable. So I want Windows 10 running again on my M.2 SSD, HDD is out of question.
Please help me as soon as possible.
 


Solution
You have to commit the changes if you go through the install. Use the clean command from diskpart. You can also do it from a live Linux boot and use gparted.
Can you write how to do that or give me link, I searched but not found.
 


So, I run gparted and I got this error

I just plug USB in laptop, boot gparted and I got these two screens popup immediately
 


You can also press Shift+F10 while Windows 10 Setup is running before you get to the select target for install portion and do a diskpart, select the correct disk, and issue the clean command.

I tried that and I also tried delete every partition individually using diskpart, without luck. Diskpart says that disk is clean successfully and show disk completely empty but when I proceed with windows installation I see those partition again
 


Sounds to me like the drive is defective. The clean command cleans all partitions, and boot records etc. Nothing is left on the disk afterwards.

It should be like that. I don't how SSD is possibly defective, when I boot in Linux Mint live, I can access SSD and open or copy files without a problem, so I made copy of primary partition without problems, all files are correct in way that I can open files on other drive without problems
