Impressive recovery from blue screen
Just a quick note about an impressiverecovery from my first blue screen -- after running W7 for six weeks. This may have related to six external hard drives I have hooked up. These are various types of Western Digital my book hard drives five of which were hooked up through a Belkin hub and the six of which was plugged into my Windows 7 quad four machine. I was doing a file transfer using a third-party application called Handy backup which had been running for an hour.
There was a sudden reboot. Windows said it had recovered from a blue screen. The operating system came back but only the internal hard drive was visible. Disc administration showed the other ones but not their names. They were on line. According to Disk Manager. Clicking on them said that the information that the operating system had was old and that rescanning or rebooting was dated. Rescan he did not work.
Rebooting resulted in a wizard coming up which offered to do a system restore. By allowing this to run the entire system appears to have come back perfectly. The hard drives are again visible and operating.
I am an XP user who skipped Vista.
This recovery was very impressive. Just a quick post about my experience.
