Re: Help! Windows 10 Chewed up my Hard Drive and Spit it Out

Re: Help! Windows 10 Chewed up my Hard Drive and Spit it Out
Ahh--Fiona the Great! Yay!
My machine is:
HP Beats Special Edition 15-po71nr
At this point, Macrium pops up at reboot (?), but didn't recognize it's own img from a couple of months ago. Aarrgghhh. Even though it wrote it to a Dbl DVD it now won't accept it. Clearly the C: drive is corrupt, so I ...

Re: Help! Windows 10 Chewed up my Hard Drive and Spit it Out
Well, hell. After about 30 hours, the Deeper Search finished and as I was getting back to the main menu, a message appeared saying that the log file was corrupted. :-(

Re: Help! Windows 10 Chewed up my Hard Drive and Spit it Out
Since my log file is 26 times larger than the 6000-character limit here, I tried to upload it instead of copy/paste. But I got an error message saying "The extension txt is not allowed."
