I had a perfectly functioning computer. I have no backup of any kind. I rebooted the computer and the hard drive is not being recognized during the boot up process. I was downloading files but I wasn’t doing anything to system files, etc. I desperately need help because there is so much on that hard drive that I need and do not have a backup of.
My question is: Is there any way to rebuild the MBR or anything like that using hard drive tools to allow the hard drive to be recognized without reformatting? I would love if it could be fixed so that it boots up just like the past, but I will absolutely be thrilled if I could just get the data off of it.
I have used Hirem’s BootCD tools in the past but I am a novice and I desperately need some help.
What would cause a hard drive full of data not to be recognized during the boot up process anymore?
Thank you in advance for your help.
