Care to make a wager that those keys went to people without VR headsets?
Only if I can wager they did lol.
Would you know much about external harddrive recovery (clicking sound of death, in my case). western digital raid usb
Ya, with western digital it happens all the time lol, especially on the big cloud syncing externals (MyBook or something, MyCloud...idk MyGarbage got sent back in a week)
If thats what your using, those can't be backed up by normal means (even in DOS) due to using an encrypted driver.
My own disk cloning program was unable to even read it at a raw sector level as a physical device without getting garbage returned instead of data since it required interacting with the driver provided with it.
In that particular case, you may need serious recovery software or WD to do it...if its just a normal HDD without its own software there are two options--one is a serious tech job I would never recommend to anyone (actually opening the drive to inspect the platters).
Let me be
entirely clear on how bad of an idea it is to touch the internals of a laptop drive without knowing what your doing...one touch against platters wipes the data--the one time I actually deemed it important enough to try this repair I actually
failed at it. I ended up making it into a clock as a reminder to myself not to fail again
The other is basically back up what you can...once that happens its pretty much a done deal.
There is a ton of software that will skip or re-read the damaged area trying to recover the data best as possible as well as running a bad sector recovery on it and hoping it can reallocate the data...but that depends if it got damaged from the external adapter you using, I would still try to back it up first before any recovery attempts since it may do more damage than good.
This is something i may have been able to help with if I had the device, but they're really ain't many good suggestions from a remote aspect.
Pray lol.
i wanted to save a restore point with just a few things, but win always delete it and save another in place
The link I gave you will explain how to do that, but if you can't understand the help page to do a backup, then doing a self restore may be too complicated to explain, and I'm not sure if it would show up in the regular System Restore in windows right now...so as of this moment, I'm not entirely sure.
