I am running Windows 7 SP1- I had 120 ssd for my boot drive and 1t HDD for media and documents. For some reason 2 days ago, when I tried starting my computer up; I would get to the login screen and then black screen... If I waited 20 minutes, my desktop would appear! How ever, if I tried to access any programs or documents- windows explorer would crash.
My remendy- I went and bought a new SSD and installed windows 7 again. I then hooked up my old SSD. I can only access program files on that drive now. I have pertinent excel document I need to access(for work) How do I make the files accessable?
