Yes, I have an external hard drive. It died too. I'm thinking one of those online backup solutions is looking pretty good right about now. But, that doesn't help me today.
My system was blue screening. I did several repair installs. At one point it crashed during a repair install. Now when I try to do the install I get a message telling me that an install is in progress and do I want to continue or format and do a clean install? I tell it to continue, then it essentially jumps to the end of the install process. When it tries to boot to Windows it goes to the point when the little blue bars are going across the screen, then the screen goes black and the mouse pointer appears and that's it.
I can see the drive if I go into the recovery console, but once I'm in the recovery console I have no idea what to do.
I have some stuff on that computer that I really, really need to retrieve.
Is there somebody that can help me please? I can't afford the pay hundreds of dollars...money is kinda tight right now.
