Answer 4

First of all, thank you for answering.

This computer is...Toshiba Windows 10

Satellite C55 B5299 computer.

This is what I have done so far.....

1. I have watched every Youtube video

known to man. Unfortunately, unless

you're extremely lucky to find a video

that specifically addresses your issue, 

you just end up confusing yourself.

2. I brought my computer to a local 

repair shop, and the guy said the hard 

drive was shot, but only if I was willing

to spend "thousands of dollars" would 

I be able to retrieve the data. At that

point, he "tipped " his hand, and told

me, in telling me that.....that retieval

was possible.

So, I then tried to "create" every type

of recovery disk I could get my hands on

but to no avail. Again, "everything you

read ...and view in Youtube", ya know?

I then removed the hard drive from the Toshiba

and tried to hook it up to another computer I

have and I'm not surprised that computers have

HD capacities , as in....a 500 GB hd won't fit in a

80 gig machine.

So, here I am...planning to buy an enclosure kit, 

so I can take the laptop HD and attempt to recover

the data with this particular kit. I'd rather not spend

money at all, but when that guy said the HD was gone,

but it could be done for "thousands"...I'm gonna get this,

ya know?

If you know of anyone who also knows about this type

of thing, please feel free to share. Thank you for your time.

Hi Tony,

You can access the Command Prompt through Windows Recovery Environment. We suggest that you visit this link on how to use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to troubleshoot common startup issues.
