Still cant recover my data!
after I tried several times to recover my hard drive, I think its toast now, due to Microsoft not allowing the software search to find the cert# and defaulting the hard drive back to startup witch formats the hard drive and erases all your data!!
how nice! NOT!!
I finally gained access to the c:/ drive as a slave and found my picture files, all the thumbnails are there,(no pics) and no data! O, Nada, nothing!
JUST great! none of the word documents will come up and nothing works!
and now when I try and boot it up as the default drive, I just get a black screen with the cursor blinking (never boots up windows)
so guessing now the config files etc are all corrupt!
I was told to get an external hard drive reader but have not, because I am pretty sure it would not work either now that the drive has been corrupted bye Microsoft's cert #search software!!
When support went away, why did they leave the search software to search for cert#s when they removed the software on their end to find them? (so you would have to buy a new PC that's why and update to windows 10!!)
they set it up that way!
I just knew I should not have done the search!! after hitting the button it dawned on me the software was no longer supported and it would fail (yup that little voice in your head was right again!) I tried to stop it but it would not respond and after about a 1/2 hr it failed to find the # and told me to contact Microsoft (allot a good that did?) WTH!
So I am blaming Microsoft for this one!
priceless data lost because they are greedy and did not provide a way to upload you old data! short of using a cloud or a thumb drive! witch I tried as well, I copied and pasted most of the data onto a thumb drive, all the picture files etc...
the folder files all copied etc... but there was no data, no pictures no documents, all erases or deleted!! empty folders.
Why is it you cant swap hard drives with out re-certifying? specially after the software is no longer supported!
they should have sent out a patch with the last up date to remove all that ****!!
So now all these hard drives are useless! and non recoverable for the average Joe (like me)
Rant rant rant, ya I know, but like I say my priceless data! lost due to negligent greed!
Thank all for the assistance I did receive from people answering my first post, (Bill Smithers)??
dont know why its locked??
I still have one option left, once I figure out how to reset the bios/ admin on this other PC I will try and install the hard drive and boot it up as the default, but guessing it wont. cause I think I already did that.
Any other suggestions would maybe be helpful ??
Thank you!
