Dear all, I am in a bit of a fix right now and hoping that any expert or experienced users can help me.
Basically, my computer is unable to start up due to some unmountable boot volume problem. I have tried almost everything but cant seem to fix it so I have decided on the next line of action-
I bought a USB TO SATA cable so i can transfer/backup my internal harddisk files to another computer. I have 2 drives in there.
Drive 1 = windows 10 OS and with some important documents.
Drive 2 = some important documents and.
The thing is, using the usb to sata cable, i can only access Drive 2 but it takes infinitely long to load Drive 1 i.e i cannot open drive 1 at all to backup my important documents.
So i am currently contemplating backing up all my stuff from Drive 2, and install windows 7 in it(im not going back to windows 10) and then boot up my comp with windows 7, then access my drive 1 from there.
I was wondering if this is even possible or feasible? Will my files from drive 1 which had windows 10 and all my stuff from my previous desktop still remain inside or will they be archived or compressed/deleted after formatting and stuff?
I would really appreciate any help here.
Thank you so much guy for your kind attention and time in helping me out! Pls havr a great day ahead
