Porsche book one, Stop code, can't find access to bios

[PeterOz]

When you boot from the windows creation tool and you get to this window what happens when you pick the option to format.
Format all.

[PetStr]

Of course I don’t use a hammer. I’m old, but not stupid enough to do this :giggle:.
The hard drive is defective and is shown as write-protected, but I can copy the data from there.
I tried to delete partitions with both Ubuntu and various Windows partition tools. A new installation of Windows was also aborted with the message that formatting was not possible because the hard drive was write-protected.
I have now installed Windows 11 on a USB disk and connected it. I was able to transfer the Windows license from the Porsche book one. I can access and copy all the data on the defective hard drive without any problems, just not delete it. The delete function is not offered in the context menu, Del and Str-X don’t work either.
A mystery, but I have to live with it now. I am very grateful that you have taken on my problem.

Are you using bitlocker on the drive?

[PetStr]

No, no bitlocker or other encryption. I access the files without any tools.

You can`t trust a drive that has such issues but have a look at Method 1. Remove write protection from SSD using CMD here

Hi phillpower2,
I ran the command: attributes disk clear readonly with diskpart and received confirmation that the disk attributes had been deleted.
The subsequent attempt to delete the Windows partition resulted in the following message: Data error (CRC check). Screenshot is attached
Errors are displayed in the event viewer. Can these help to analyze the problem?

Your picture tells us that there are two drives or partitions, one has no free space on it while the other has 2048MB on it, both drives are list as dirty.

Is the notebook SSD still list as write protected.

What is the 2TB drive that we can see.

[PetStr]

Disk 0 is the defective SSD of the Porsche notebook. This has two partitions (C: with operating system, D: with data)

Disk 1 is a 2 TB USB hard drive with Windows 11, which I am now starting from.

Attached is the image of the disk management, I have since reduced the partition C: of the USB hard drive.

The word “schreibgeschützt” in the name of disk 0 means “write protect”.

Thanks for the additional info, as you can see Windows and the data are still on the notebook SSD, I would try the same command on the SSD a couple of times more, if still no look try ShredOS to wipe the drive.

The problems that you are having with trying to wipe the drive could be down to the type of BIOS that the notebook has, just a btw, have you looked around the BIOS to see if there is a Secure Erase utility.

[PetStr]

I’ve tried this several times, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.
The SSD manufacturer Intel may know a special solution. I’ll ask them.
Thank you again for your helpful support, I’ve learned a lot again :giggle:

[PeterOz]

As long as you have crc you will not get far.
You need to replace the SSSD
Do you have a link to your exact model?

[PetStr]

Dies müsste die SSD sein: Link

I’m sorry that I wrote in German. At the same time, I was on the Intel forum, and my German input was translated there immediately.
Thanks for the tips on better and cheaper SSDs. My problem will be the replacement, which I can’t have done in a computer shop because of the non-erasable data.
If I have a solution for this and can buy an SSD, I will do it as you described.
Thanks

[phillpower2]

have you looked around the BIOS to see if there is a Secure Erase utility.

Have you checked out the above.

Noticed your thread on the Intel forum, for me it was in half English and half German :LOL:

[PetStr]

I couldn’t find any option in the BIOS.

Noticed your thread on the Intel forum, for me it was in half English and half German :LOL:

My mistake, I see all posts in the Intel forum automatically in German and assumed that this would also be automatically translated in the English version.
Thanks for the tip, I never stop learning
