    HDD Corrupted After Windows Update


    I read articles and answers on this topic, but ,ine is unique! about 3 weeks ago I was suggested to install a ready update and I agreed. towards end of the process, I read a message don't recall the exact message that 'something didn't go right. I wanted to restart the laptop and my PIN wasn't available! Used my password, I was said it was wrong! I did the following along with every other things Google was telling to do to get it fixed:


    1. Ran Dell diagnostic-nothing found-I get back to the sign-in windows

    2. Open the BIOS and tried to repair-asked for password-didn't recognize-I get back to the sign-in windows!

    3. Wanted to boot from an external drive USB-nothing happened-I get back to the sign-in windows

    4. Tried to install new OS, wiping out the existing one-I'm asked to put password-nothing happened

    5. Oh, forgot to mention, everytime my a password is not recognised and I click on 'reset password', I get back to sign on Windows!

    6. Took to the repair shop a reputable one, they removed the HD and put a differentone in-windows won't boot!

    7. They tried to erase all files and re-install OS-nothing happened! They just quit without charging me a dime!


    Here is one more piece of information. I tried to copy the HD number and use a website that helps recover password with HD numbers. My HD # is shown as #***-numbers-numbers etc. Here, I did not use # or * to hide any number, it shows that way! I tried with #*** and the remaining number-no buzz!

    I've so much in it, and I gave up the hope of getting anything back.


    I just wanted to share what Windows Update did to me.

    :)

  2. HDD Corrupt ?

    Hi,

    There are many possible reasons this issue is happening. We'd like to ask few questions below:

    • What is the brand name of you Hard Disk Drive?
    • How old is the HDD?
    Since you already tried multiple troubleshooting steps, we suggest visiting the manufacturer's website. Find and download a hard drive diagnostic software to help resolve the issue.

    Let us know how it goes.

    unlock hdd

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
