I wrote this yesterday
"My laptop died - had a startup loop for windows 7 which I fixed numerous times but couldn't by the end of it's life so I built a new PC. I'd like to try and extract some data off of that hard drive if I can.
So I plugged the laptop hard drive into my new PC as a slave drive - even made sure the BIOS was in the correct order - should be starting Windows 10 from my SSD but no matter what I do the old laptop hard drive seems to trump everything and forces the Windows 7 startup loop (which cannot be repaired)
I was looking at the drive in the cmd prompt and it seems as though the old hard drive has turned into the RAW format."
And received some great advice to get a USB adapter to plug in the drive, which I did. Now my computer will basically lock up when I go to look at the drives in question. Is there anyway to prevent this so I can start using tools like Recuva or EASEUS (programs freeze when they I click on the drive in question)?.
