Hello,
I was using my Hp laptop win 10
And it fully ran out of battery while I was using it.
Now Whenever I turn it on it goes through the windows boot fix mode and stops at repairing c drive 30%.
I go through advanced options and try everything complete restore and fix but they all fail.
I think my hard drive is stuffed?
Is it possible to boot my laptop from a usb or a external hard drive?
Any idea on what the issue is?
Thanks

Well it could be a couple of things. I assume when your battery died, your PC just immediately powered off, with no automatic shutdown?

Worse case you could've physically damaged the HDD if it was read/writing when it powered off.
You can also try a clean install (however this will wipe all data) to see if that rectifies the issue, as it simply may be a partition / logical error.

But first, you CAN boot from a USB or external HDD, you just have to put a bootable/portable OS on it and boot into in from the BIOS boot manager.
