Was on my computer on Sunday night, browsing hxf and listening to music and that and all of a sudden.. blue screen of death. I get it now and then so just restarted and didn't think anything of it. I turn it on... "windows cannot start.." oh no. So I try this start up repair that came with it.. no luck.
Right I think, restore from an image backup (thankfully latest copy was made hours earlier!) using Acronis Home Image 10. Not as easy as that. The software kept freezing, and just not working. I was speaking to the support from 4 - 11pm every day the past few days trying to get this sorted, trying absolutely everything. No luck.
So earlier I thought I'm gonna get this fixed. They gave me an ISO which would recover my stuff from my back up, but it wouldnt boot. So I started messing around with it, trying new things and that. And I try one way and I restart and YES!! IT WORKED!!
So good to be online again on my own laptop. It was because of a windows file was corrupt or something.
Anyone who doesnt keep a back up - you really should do.
I would have lost my precious photos (like animals who are now pushing daisys, holidays) and music and my very important documents.
Whatever you do - DONT USE ACRONIS!
