Save my unbootable Windows installation using Windows on external HDD?
A power failure during a Windows Update left my computer unable to boot. I have tried many things including System Restore, Automatic Repair and even Recovery to no avail. I've been able to gain access to the hard drive by installing windows on an external HD and plugging it into the computer.
Now that i'm in there, is there a way I can salvage the OS on the main HDD? And how would i go about doing that? I would prefer not doing a complete wipe and install. I tried installing and keeping my files through the recovery console. That didnt work.
