It is a 5 year old Acer laptop and everything is stored on the C: drive. The file system is NTFS.
When I boot it says 'no bootable device' and after several tries of restarting and booting again, CHKDSK runs. It starts verifying files, then says 'file record segment ____ is unreadable' about 20 times. It got stuck on 9 percent of this after 4 hours and rebooted itself only to do the exact same thing again.
I ran system restore, which didn't work. I can boot into BIOS, but am not sure what to do from there.
All of my data is on the failing drive and I don't know how to retrieve it before it dies completely! Please help!
