I think my laptop may have crashed. Is there anyway to transfer all the files onto some type of storage device?

Or is everything gone ?|||Nothing is evergone.


power it of completely restart it. if it doesnt work then....below


are you using vista? if so best fix is to do a system restore from boot disk if you have one if that doesn't work. do a system recovery. your files may not be lost when it crashed. So after that Sys recovery, everything is save into something called windows.old in the local disk(c:) area. the recovered backup only works in vista so i hope you have it.


if you have xp, safe to spend some cash on professionals if you have very important files on it. Visit your local electronic store and ask if they they can help or if they can point you to other sources. good luck


remember to always back up your files on external storages, CDs, flash drives or external hardrives. i save the same files on all of them just in case.|||some times repairing windows is possible , that will solve some operating system issues and it will rebuild the system and you will not loose your data . ( need more information about your os to guide you to the repairing process by using your os cd )





other way is to take out the hard disk out of the laptop and connect it to other pc ( you need external hd case , it comes with usb cable ) then after logging into windows try to access the external hd from my computer icon on desktop then back up your files to where you want either by using the simple copy and paste or by using windows backup utility in control panel or the system tool in accessories .|||If you can salvage the harddisk and see if you can get the files from it somehow, then you can get everything back. but if the harddisk crashed then you're pretty much hosed.
