Question Restore emmc?

[erkun12]

I have this common problem with my hp laptop where it says boot device not found,please install an operating system on your hard disk.

I have tried tutorials on you tube but the problem is still the same.

I have some important stuff on it so I dont want to send it to repair service to restore the files beccause I dont thrust them and steal my b t c words.

I could make them remove the emmc chip and then i put it in a emmc reader, would that work?

I also got a sugestion to boot the laptop from a USB with archbang or sergei strelec but i cant do that until the end of the month beccause I need to buy a new computer for that.

I cant make a bootble usb with my android, right?

The most likely cause is a failed, or failing drive.

Is it possible to fix or st least read the files i have on it?

Completely unknown.
It could be an actually dead device.

Or, it might be soldered directly to the motherboard.


This is a poster child for why backups are needed.

If the drive has failed? No. This is what backups are for.

So even if I was a terrorist and FBI wanted to restore the data, it would not be possible for them?

That's exactly how it works. No backup, kiss your data goodby on a drive failure.

Irrelevant, because you don't have the hundreds of thousands of $$ to apply to a data recovery.

Especially on a solid state device, like your eMMC.

No way for you to know how much money i have. Been invested in c r y p t o since 2015 so....

Are talking 500k or 50 millon?

Or, being a solid state device, $Infinity.

What efforts have YOU made so far?
Opened it up to see if the storage device is removable?

If it is, it might be able to be read in a different system.

Or, it could be totally dead.

If you really could afford to spend that much money and, the data was sufficiently important to justify the spend, you would have gone straight to a data recovery firm, you wouldn't be farting about here. Equally, you would be looking even more of an idiot for not having backups, note my use of the plural.
