Hi,
Here goes my first post.
My Compaq Pressario R3200 laptop crashed with a BSD and the statement:UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME over the weekend. I have been having trouble with the power just cutting out and not having a battery installed it just turns off. After numerous failed attempts at rebooting it with and without the recovery CD I decided to call up mastercare, my support company. Now they can fix or replace my laptop but cannot guarantee that they can save my files on the Hard drive (Win XP). I really need to save these files.
To save my files they suggested I get a USB enclosure and save my files onto another PC before sending it in to them. So I purchased a ‘Pluscom 2.5″ IDE/SATA TO USB 2.0 Enclosure’
I installed my Compaq HDD into the enclosure and plugged it into another laptop running Vista. It found it ok and installed the drivers but then froze, saying ‘not responding’. Then a box appeared saying ‘ windows explorer not responding’. When I unplugged it the system went ok again and the box dissapeared. This also happened when I tried it on a desktop PC running Win XP.
Any advice would be appreciated.
