Hello. I bought a new Hp 255 notebook laptop and turned it on to install the windows 8 software that came with the machine. I followed all the steps and when i reached the step of signing in my sccount. i didn't have a microsoft account to sign in with so i chose the option which said sign in without a microsoft account. after that i clicked next and shortly after an error message appeared saying windows did not nstall and you should re- install it. since there was no start up button i turned the machine off manually. Now when i switch it on it goes to automatic repair mode and i've tried every option to get windows installed but it keeps refusing saying the drive i want is locked and should be unlocked for me to proceed. "restart your computer and unlock the drive". how do i get rid of this problem? HELP
