Hello boys and girls!! !
Just want to say sorry if this been addressed before, or has been solved, apologies in advance. I have been through the forum trying to find an answer to my question, and atm I haven't found it.
Sometime back I started hearing clicking noise with HDD, so without thinking I took my laptop straight to shop and had HDD replaced.
Everything does work absolute fine, a part from if my PC starts acting up or if I will need to (which I want to do) windows reinstall, when I try to access windows repair keeps saying that partition is damanaged/ files missing. I believe no hidden recovery partition was ever moved on to the laptop although it does show partition with recovery through disc management.
What I wanted to ask, I still have the old HDD and it still works, and I can access all files on it, but before it goes to bed completely, I really want to get all of the files from it. I was wondering if I connected the old HDD can I boot from it!? and then will it be possible to access windows repair and reinstall windows on the new HDD installed inside laptop right now ? Or is that a weird idea?
I have looked at cloning but it seems like the HDD inside laptop atm already stores some partitions, and it seems like it'd be a mess since its not empty/new one.
Sorry for all this blah blah, just hope you guys could help me or send me into right direction.
Thank you everyone in advance! 🙏💝
