Hi everyone !
I've had my laptop pc for a few years and it never let me down until recently. I opened a word document and it froze on me, so I had to hard reboot. When i restarted it, it was "preparing automatic repair" with Asus logo followed by a blackscreen of death. Then a grey window appears for 1/4 second and i'm left with a black screen AND a cursor.
To try and fix it somehow, I created a Windows 10 bootable USB, went into the Bios to change boot priority and managed to get to the Windows troubleshooting options. However, absolutely nothing works except command prompt!
I did a chkdsk to find a lot of "file segment record ## is unreadable".
As a last resort, I entered notebook on commands and tried to retrieve some of my files that way. My c: drive displays nothing and I can't enter it, whereas my d: drive is fine and I can get files from it to the USB device (of course the d: wasn't where all my important stuff was!)
Has anyone had a similar problem ? Could it be a hard drive failure? Any way of fixing it?
Thank you so much for taking the time
