  1. Yes its set to boot from the usb and last time I put a windows recovery into the usb and use it, nothing happens as I just get stuck on the logo and none of the preparing windows pop up and it just stays on the logo for an hour or two but I will try ubuntu.

  2. Thank you so much. The thing with option 1 is I don't really want to take the laptop apart because I've had issues in the past where I take apart something and forget where to put the items back to its original place or I accidently break something without knowing it. Option 2 sounds really good but I have a few questions. So i have to install a windows recovery into my usb stick and when its done do I extract the recuva portable version zip file into a created folder in the usb stick and how do I do this one:

     

    the laptop drive will then need to be 'seen' by the USB OS and a drive letter assigned to it for Recuva to see it.

     

  3. Is the laptop that you are trying to recover from using Windows 10, or is it the new laptop you've bought that is using Windows 10?

    Yes the old one with windows 10 I'm trying to recover my files and the new laptop that I bought came with windows 10 also.

  4. let's try and get that old laptop started, it'll be one of the fastest way forward if all you are after is access to your data.

    although personally, I'd still be pulling the hard drive out and whacking it into an external enclosure; 1) you'll get quick, direct access to the data and 2) it can later be used as a backup unit.

     

    start the old laptop (with your USB disconnected) and when you see Windows trying to start, hold in the power button to turn it off.

    repeat a few times and eventually Windows will force you into Advanced Startup Options.

    pick Troubleshoot, then Reset This PC, then Keep My Files.

     

    or you could pick Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, and try a System Restore.

    I've already tried that a few times and that was my first option and it just gets stuck at preparing automatic repair.

  5. Its a laptop and I just bought a new one last week to get a copy of the recovery and put it into a usb flash drive and I tried booting the usb but after an hour of waiting to give me the option to repair or reset nothing happens and I'm just stuck on the logo. I did research and I believe the hdd is still functioning and probably its either corrupted, missing some stuff on it or something else.

  6. Hi. Like the title says I have really no knowledge on how to do it because I can't boot into my operating system and I have no idea how to use the software through a usb flash drive. Any help would be appreciated and please kindly have the instructions clear from top to bottom. Thank you.
