drive not recognized, is there any way to get my data?
Hi,
I recently had an issue where my computer would not login to windows. I decided to just force restart my machine. From then I had the error bootmgr missing. I tried to do the startup repair but it failed each time. Later I tried using the system recovery command prompt, with commands such as bootrec fix boot, etc. Afterwards I think I started getting a different error such as invalid system partition. Going back to the cmd I tried other things such as chkdsk /scannow , list disk, etc. But I was not able to see my drive. From this point I think the issue got even worse and it said insert boot ddevice.
I decided to take out the hard drive and test on my brothers computer instead. Going into disk management the hard drive would not show up, not even as a blank device. Originally when I first tried the startup repair it would take a long time, probably because I had other hard drives connected as well. After unplugging them the startup repair is almost instant but it can,t repair it of course. Does this mean the disk is totally wiped now? Another thing to mention is that in bios, the hard drive doesn't,t show up with a name, it,s just called hard drive. Am I out of luck or is there still some way to recover my data?
Thank you for reading, apologies for errors and inaccurate command names. I.m using a tablet, so there are some inconveniences.
