On the one hand, it is for data safety - if your Windows 8/8.1 hard drive only has one partition including Windows, boot files, programs, documents, photos and so on, when there is something wrong with your system, all data on the partition may be lost. On the other, hard drive partitioning can make full use of disk space and will be more convenient for us to assort different kinds of files and documents, and make our computer run smoothly.

Click the Next option and select Repair Your Computer.  You will see this option at the bottom-left corner of the window, whether y...

In this guide I explain how to recover personal files from a broken laptop. I assume the hard drive is still in good working order. For example, you can use this guide if the screen stopped working, motherboard failed, power jack stopped working properly, etc… but it will not work if the hard drive itself failed (stopped spinning, makes grinding noise, clicking noise, etc…) I’ll be retrieving data using an external USB enclosure for 2.5″  hard drives. Let’s go though the process step by step. STEP 1. First of all, remove the hard drive from the hard drive. If the hard drive has mounting brackets or caddy you’ll have to separate them from the hard drive. Most laptops use 2.5″ hard drives. It’s either IDE or SATA hard drive and you will see the difference in the following pictures 2.5″ IDE HARD DRIVE The IDE hard drive connector has two rows of pins. 2.5″ SATA HARD DRIVE The SATA hard drive has two flat connectors. One for data and one for power. By the way, same ...
