So to start from the top I recently attempted to change the password when my Asus laptop loads and when I put the password blank in BIOS it basically created some kind of default password that I couldn't find so I researched online and reset my motherboard y removing the CMOS battery.It worked only problem is that it launched a series of hard drive failures. at first I wasnt able to log into windows because a "error loading operating system' message would pop up. I've tried everything in bios to fix the issue but for some reason sometimes I could see my hard drive as a boot option and sometimes it wasn't displayed. So i recently tried to insert the windows 7 disc to try a solution I saw on the internet. Enter command prompt in system recovery options and type in bootrec /rebuildbdc after selecting the drive where windows was installed, only problem is that no hard drive was displayed(having a windows installed on it) so now I'm wondering what the heck is wrong with my hard drive...Is it somehow corrupt? I don't have the means to install it in another PC and i don't have the money at the moment to buy the required tools to verify if it is still functional. Can anyone please help me?? I have valuable info on the hard drive that I can't afford to lose and no like a fool I didn't back up my info in time so I really don't know how to fix my laptop without having to reformat the whole PC.... 🙁
