Hey!
So recently my power got shut off a couple of times while my computer was running. So apparently it had to do a chkdsk which took ~35+ hours, but after the chkdsk i was getting black screen of death.
I can conclude out from that, that some windows files has been messed up, so i want to buy another hard disk, install windows on that. After that i want to try to insert my old HDD again and delete windows from it, and then keep it as another hard disk for games and such.
Would this work?
I mean is is possible to save the files on the old HDD by installing windows on another hard disk to boot the computer, and then use that old HDD as hard drive?
I still have no clue if it's the whole HDD that has been messed up or if its just windows.
(This is very important for me, thanks)
