Ok, so i cannot boot up windows on my laptop..
I believe i have the black screen of death error..
I have tried booting off a vista recovery disk, booting in safe mode, and trying to repair the problem via startup repair. I also ran a diagnostic and found an hard drive error.
I have been searching around an found some different ways i could possibly recover date on the hard-drive which include: Freezing the hardrive for a few hours and then starting up, and using dd rescue or knoppiz linux boot cd.
My question is what is the best method of recovering my data on my hard-drive without sending it in to a professional?
