I restarted my Toshiba Laptop, and shortly after signing in windows crashed and said it was collecting data. This was somehow interrupted, I guess.

Now I have a black screen with a blue box in the middle saying:

 

"The Hard Drive Recovery Process has been selected. Please chosse [Yes] if you are sure that you want to continue.

[Yes]   [No]"

 

Should I seletct this? And will this reset my PC?

I don't know much but it seems like your system crashed and your files in the middle of it didn't save / your hard drive didn't have time to write the data. In theory it's basically asking you if you can allow it to try to get those files back. I doubt that this will reset your PC, but I'm not really sure, and if it tries to recover it might go to a later version of your computer, so I don't know. I would recommend googling the error.

I've googled it and it seems like this screen is for purposfuly reseting your PC. So I clicked on No. The PC shut it self down. After that it booted up normaly into windows.

With data once it's gone it's gone. Recovery is a slow process and my guess is that the message you saw was your laptop spotting files that it can recover and that pressing no was what made the files dissaper. There are tools to recover files but in all honesty re creating them is probably quicker then trying to recover them. 

If it's for a large buissnes then recovery is the only option and you would typically pay a data specialist or someone that could do it for you rather then a free program on Google. 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I’m like 3 years late but I’ve ran into the same issue. I tried to refresh my pc (i got to that option somehow) but it didn’t work... what did you end up doing and could you recover your data? Please let me know. Hopefully you see this

Please don't revive old threads. It's better to post your own and link to older one. Or you can PM to members in this thread.
