Before I begin, I'd like to point out I have three hard drives:
1. Is my main 80GB hard drive that contains Windows 7 Ultimate.
2. Is my internal 1TB hard drive that I use to hold most of my files and data.
And 3. Is my internal 500GB hard drive that has Windows 8 installed.
At about 4:00PM yesterday, I wen't to a friend's house, so I slept the computer until about 8:35AM this morning. I woke it up, and after about 5 - 7 minutes, it started to shut down. I thought it was an update so I was just like, "Oh okay, no problem." But when it started back up, it went to the recovery screen.
It's happened before, so I just restarted it, but this time, it came back. I then tried running the Startup Repair, but it couldn't find any problems.
I then tried restoring the system, (Which I had none, except one that was unusually created on May 3rd 8:31AM,) but it did absolutely nothing.
I even tried running Windows 8, but I still get a Startup Recovery on that too.
Back at Windows 7 I tried many possible choices to try and resolve the issue, such as backing up all the new components from windows/system32/config and restoring old ones, but again, still nothing.
I also tried formatting the hard drive containing Windows 8 (It had nothing but a single game purchased, so it's not much of a loss) and then reinstalling Windows 7 on that one, but now it's giving me a "winload.exe cannot verify the digital signature", or something like that.
I am a game creator, and I have a game being made on the 1st hard drive (Which is hard drive with Windows 7 currently installed), so I cannot afford to lose the data from that hard drive.
Is there a way to solve this without having to reinstall Windows 7 completely?
However, if I can move my data from my hard drive to another via Command Prompt, that will be even more of assistance.
