I need some assistance, has anyone had first had experience dealing with this problem?
I've tried the auto repair tool, booting off OS cd to repair, removing hdd and plugging into my desktop, etc. Looked around online, tried command prompt stuff and still no luck.
It would hang for a very long time when trying most of these. When I plugged the hdd into my desktop as a normal data disk, it wouldn't even let me read the normal files, would only show a G: drive which was titled "HP_Recovery" or something like that.
Is my only remaining option to try and format the drive? This problem could not have come at the worst possible time, with finals around the corner and all, and it is driving me crazy.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
