How Can I Fix My Laptop’s Data Wipe Error?

The message you're getting suggests you need to restart the installation, not the whole laptop. Try reinstalling Windows; it seems like something went wrong during the installation process. You could also run an SFC scan, but a reinstall is typically safer.

Let me guess, factory reset, right? Yeah, that can be really problematic. Honestly, it's much safer to perform a clean install instead. I learned that the hard way last month! Clean installs seem to avoid those issues.

It sounds like you're using the built-in factory reset feature. That's known to have issues, so instead, try selecting the Cloud download option for the reset. It might take a bit longer, but it's usually more reliable. If that doesn’t work, you could also consider doing a clean install with a USB stick.
