The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.
I keep receiving the following message on a HP ENVY dv4 laptop:
The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.
I attempted to do F11 at startup and can't really go anywhere from here. I also went into the restore feature once logged into the machine, but nothing. Same thing occurs.
I want to set my laptop back to it's factory settings.
