Help, what am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm trying to install a 6 x 4 ft glass blackboard (around 79 pounds or 36 kg). We have drywall, and I used magnets to find the stud. I started drilling and made a hole, but a lot of white dust is coming out, and there's a burning smell—could there be cement behind it? My drill goes all the way through, but the anchor won’t go in. I keep trying to widen the hole for the anchor, but it’s not working. I’m worried the hole is too big on the outside. What am I doing wrong? submitted by /u/almhdtht [link] [comments]
