    lost points?

    Hi Susan,

    It seems that the issue is with the Window Store app cache. We suggest that you clear Store cache by following these steps:

    • Right-click the Start button and choose Run.
    • In the Run window, type in wsreset.exe and click OK.

      An empty command prompt window will open up.
    • When the reset is complete, this window will close and the Store window will open.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.

    My computer reset itself and I lost everything

    Lost the Seagate...

    The drive seems to be completely dead, my computer will not boot if I have it connected...to the windows cd or the new installation on the F1 drive (which is the boot drive now by the way)

    Thanks for the above article, im booting into Vista: U 64 right now, I cant follow those steps if the drive is in, it will lock up before it gets that far or if its not a cold boot the drive does not appear on the list.
