I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but a few weeks ago I stayed up late watching a few Corman double features to review for Eurocultav.com, when I went to bed I do something I never do which was shut my computer down manually to save time.
The next morning I got up and turned it on, and it wouldn't boot up. I forced it to stop automatically restarting, and found out I was getting the unmountable boot volume error. I didn't have the recovery disc so I found my model, and ordered them from recoverydisk.com.
I have 2 hard drives, one is my main hard drive with everything on it, and one I took from a previous computer for storage purposes, but I never really use it.
I put the recovery disc in the first drive, and although the light is flashing it will not read it, so I put it in the second hard drive which is running an entirely different (and non-working) version of Windows, at which point I can get it Recovery Console working, however, the only drive that shows up for recovery is something called J:/MiniNT. Even so, I tried running a chkdsk, and a fix boot, but the computer would still not run.
Finally, I ordered a USB external hard drive from Amazon. I installed Linux to it, and made it bootable. So I am able to get into the computer, and access all the hard drives, except the one I am trying to get to. I either get a time out error, or a this hard drive is not mounted, and gets Exit Code 13.
That hard drive contains my website, short films, and 10 years of family photos, and I would like to recover them even if I cannot recover the actual PC.
Any help would be appreciated.
