Default Re: Saving my files on an unbootable laptop

I just went through a similar situation. When you put the disk into another computer, CheckDisk might try to run and repair things but it will ask you if you want to skip it...I let it run and I lost the whole drive because it found some unreadable sectors. There were 4 unreadable sectors and somehow the disk was then unformatted. So, I would say skip it at first and see if you can access the data. BTW, what caused it? Mine happened after a thunderstorm. The power went out and shut off the computer and messed stuff up.
