Automatic repair couldn’t repair your pc

[Aber]

Hi all, so my pc is bricked and will not boot up. It keeps on blue screening them going into repair mode. It won’t even go into safe mode. Anyways I have tried several fixes such as entering commands in command prompt, trying to restore to an earlier version etc. nothing has worked. I even made a windows boot drive and though it appears I can freshly install windows, I would rather not lose all my data and keep the version I have. I also cannot use the drive to repair windows.

Does anyone have any ideas on what went wrong and how I can fix it? I have included pictures below. Thanks I’m advance!

also if my only option is to erase my computer and freshly install windows it’s not too big of a deal but I would rather not.

If you happen to have another HDD, you could install (or use) windows on it and try recovering the data on the first HDD by using a program like Recuva or EaseUS.

I'd recommend this if possible; for since you're installing/using windows to a different HDD, you aren't writing anything to the first. Then, after you've gotten the data off, you could wipe the first drive, install windows, and put the data back on.

 

First, I'd try using Recuva. I'm not sure if it'd work in this case, but it's very reputable. If it doesn't work, you could try EaseUS Recovery. I haven't used it, but it seems specifically made to do this type of thing.

Good question. I’m not sure, I don’t even know what the d drive is. Can I make a bootable Linux drive to move it back on the c drive?

I found a silmilair issue, I suggest you try this.

 

 

Windows was installed on your C drive right?

I'd make a Linux boot (Linux Mint has a very windows-y UI if you just need something that works) and get your important files off before you do anything.

First backup, then try to fix it.

It was yes.

@OP, I agree with Linker. Download a live Linux ISO and burn it onto a usb stick. Mint or Ubuntu, it doesn't matter. Then you get your files away and only then attempt any repairs.

Linux mint specific installation guide, though instead of using Etcher, I would use

this, as it is a lighter program that doesn't need to be installed, though if you don't feel confident enough to use it, Etcher will work just fine.

Like others said, Use linux to get your files off the drive then try to repair it with a windows disk. Then it may work again. You also should check if the drive is still healthy. It shouldn't change by itself to another drive letter.

I think what I’ll do is boot windows onto a second hard drive and pull the data I need off my main drive, then wipe my main drive, install windows and move my data back on.

I fixed it  I used another hard drive to put windows on and dragged all my stuff over.
