Hello guys :wavey:
My friend's laptop died recently, so he took out it's hard drive and made a case for it having double USB Cables. (Why two?)
As he wanted to recover his data, he plugged it into my Linux laptop. But it was said that since the system was in hibernate state prior to going down, Linux was not able to mount the drive. So, I deleted the hibernate file using the command as shown on the error dialogue box:
I was able to mount the drive and he saved all his important data on it.
Now, since, it is the internal drive of the laptop, we were pretty sure that if connected to my laptop, that it should boot with the original OS installed (Windows 7) on the hard drive. So, we decided to try it.
When booted the Start Windows Normally screen was shown) probably because I removed the hibernate file), then it proceeded to the Staring Windows screen, that's when we got an instant BSOD, couldn't even get a glimpse of the error before it shut down.
So, we tried again, this time tried Launch Startup Repair (Recommended), which resulted in a Black Screen, we waited for a few minutes, then forcefully shut it down.
On trying again, nothing... :huh:
Any ideas if I can boot with this setup? It's not a do or die situation, but it would be nice if it would work. :smile:
