Hi there,
Thanks in advance for reading this and helping me. I noticed over the weekend that I received a windows update so I accepted it and let my computer go. I didn't touch anything until Monday morning when my HP laptop would not boot. It would go to the windows screen and stay there, then got to BSD, then into an HP utility to repair (which didn't work) or reformat and start over. I pulled the drive and got all of the data off using an external enclosure, so I know the drive works fine.
I decided to purchase the recovery CD and followed the instructions to use easy BCD to restore via flash drive. I tried auto repair 3 times (each time it seemed to address different problems) as stated in the directions to no avail. It still goes to the windows screen then to BSD.
At this point I attempted the system restore via snapshot option. I have a window that says: progress...mounting partition and preparing for System Restore procedure...Restoring data....
I have been at this screen for almost 2 hours now. How long should I expect this to take or did it just not work? Any ideas? Additionally, if this didn't work, can I just turn it off while it's in the middle of running the restore?
Thank you!
