darkdill Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 If there's something wrong with your harddrive, and you have another spare one, use the other one as the primary, and once you get into Windows and all, reconnect your old one as an additional drive so you can copy everything you need to your now-primary drive.Sounds like that'd work to an extent, but I actually have to get the hard drive first...ya know you could attach a flash drive and have the computer boot from that, and then just use the bios of your motherboard to find and transfer whatever salvageable files you can. I have not dealt much with a failed HDD as I usually just toss them and buy a new one, but I would expect your most saveable files would be pictures and documents. If you don't mind me asking, what did you have saved onto your HDD that is the most important to you? Work files, family photos, music?Personal stuff. That's all I'll say.

Dan3345 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ok well I only ask because if its work stuff it kind of ups the priority of saving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkdill Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Looking at some other sites and suggestions, I'm wondering if by posting up some Event Viewer logs, someone here might be able to help me determine exactly what the problem is. How should I go about posting up such logs? Edited April 16, 2012 by darkdill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
