Thanks for that. I've spent the entire day trying to get it to work, but it just BSODs almost instantly, that is, if it gets past the BIOS screen. The BIOS either freezes completely or goes to a...

I'm incredibly annoyed that I cannot recover my files, but thank you anyway. I really appreciate your help trying to solve my problem. The issue has now taken another turn though... I decided to do a...

Thanks, I wasn't sure if that was regular Command Prompt or not.

The first time I ran it, it instantly BSOD.I ran it three more times, and each time it said:

How should I...

It is. :)

Yes. A borrowed laptop. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm not sure what exactly has happened since my last post, but now I can't even access the advanced boot screen to run CHKDSK. It now immediately BSODs after the BIOS, or gives me various error info...

Hey guys! I'm really hoping you can solve a problem that I've spent the past 16 hours wrestling with. This morning my PC hard crashed,. I didn't think anything of it, restarted and got back to work....
