For Sure! On the left side menu Select Surface Test and click the Start Now button. Let me know when finished. If it asks to repair anything say YES.

 

After that, Run the Check file operation

 

I have to take care of a few things let me know when this is done.

My bad we havent created a partition yet. Select Create Partition. Choose NTFS for file type.

It's asking for a partition label and size and location of the new partition, no idea what to add or where

Give a label name such as Windows etc

 

Create as "Primary"

File system "NTFS"

Drive Leter "C"

 

Leave the rest as they are and Click OK
