DIsk cleanser interrupted
Hello people,
So i started the disk formating via disk cleanser and somewhere in 1/3 of the proccess my lap top battery went off, so i assume the whole proccess was not finished. When i turn on lap top i got this message
pxe-mof: exiting pxe rom
My questions are: what should i do now? Should i go for regular Windows 10 installation? Maybe after that format again whole hard drive, but this time without interruption?
Tnx in advance :)

Agree with Steve's note. FYI, if you only want to format a drive in Acronis, but not "clean" it, you can use the "add new disk" option instead. It will format it in about 5 seconds. Disk cleaner is meant to securely wipe the contents of the drive by wiping the drive, then overwriting it with random data so that it's nearly impossible for someone else to recovery what's still on the disk. If you're going to be re-using the disk, there's really no need to clean it.

Tnx a lot for answers. My problem was with Lenovo y50-70 with notorious WD hybrid hard drive with 1TB and 8GB SSD (super slow and freezing sometimes), and i have tried every possible solution found on the internet. Since i couldn`t install WD BOOST nor update firmware for that drive, i decided to wipe everything out and install Windows 10 from zero, just to check if that is gonna solve my problem. Unfortunatelly it didnt (still have some spikes from time to time), so i guess its definitely faulty drive so i am going to return my lap top. Again tnx for answers. Cheers!

I agree - I find SSHD hybrid drives to be pretty terrible in peformance in most cases. They sound great on paper, but that small/limited caching space becomes a bootle neck and can slow the drive down considerably. Plus, many SSHD's use a 5400PRM spinning drive so when that caching is not in use or bottlenecked, it will be slower than a 7200RPM spinning drive. 8Gb cache space on a 1TB drive, just isn't enough space to be efficient.
If you were willing to purchase an SSD (you can get a decent 250Gb drive for about $70), and image the OS to it, I'm sure your system would be a lot better off. You could then use the 1TB SSHD as an external drive for storage (backups, or files that once they're written, don't really change again ... music, videos, picutres, etc).
Otherwise, look for a system that has an SSD and you'll be a lot more pleased. If storage is a problem, keep the internal SSD drive to applications and documents, etc in your profile, and still use an exernal drive for your media, etc if you want to save money by going with a lower size SSD to increase performacne at the cost of storage space.
