Thread: Serious problem with my Lenovo laptop

I have a serious problem with my Lenovo laptop. Its configuration is: 120 GB hard disk, 1 GB RAM, and genuine Windows Vista Basic. I have now installed Windows 98 but it is not working properly. Vista's System Restore function does not load and the one-touch doesn't work either. The system shows only the C drive with 2 GB space. No other drive is visible. When I try to open other drives by typing the drive letter, it pops up a message saying "your drive is either moved or removed". I have very valuable data that I can't lose and I need to get it all back. Help me in this regard. 1) Is there any possibility of getting all the data back to my laptop? (2) If possible what is the process to transfer the data to another PC?

I am sorry but you might already have lost all the data on your hard drive. The only option you have is to remove the hard drive from the laptop, plug it into another computer using an external casing (or directly to a desktop computer if it is a SATA hard drive) and try using file recovery software. Please note: doing this could void your laptop's warranty. Check with the manufacturer's website before attempting any data recovery on the laptop.
