1/ BUY USB3 external HHD in caddy at least as large as C: drive in laptop, in an ideal world and SSD and if you’re lucky it will be a machanical swap fit with the original in cases of emergency.

2/ BUY a copy of Macrium Reflect, highly recommend it, ***take an image of the entire root disk in laptop***, if you new external HDD is large enough also take weekly incremental backups…https://www.macrium.com/

3/ https://wimminz.wordpress.com/?s=uefi if you have anything less than an expensive laptop you almost certainly have cut down UEFI and a hidden partition (see point 2***) which contains all the device drivers, if this gets lost or corrupted, it’s an un recoverable brick.

HTH etc

Nevermind, got it handled now. Had to rebuild the MBR. If it ever happens to any of you guys:

Im a moron for not having multiple backups handy anyway. Been traveling for a while and wasnt able to justify hauling around an NAS. But for a laptop, an external backup or 2, and a few recovery USBs/CDs should be minimum. Lesson learned.

Not that anyone should feel obligated to, but nothing so far has worked and I figured Id throw this out there in case any of you are feeling generous.

SSD running win8.1 blue screened, couldnt start up and says BCD files are corrupt or missing. Loaded up a recovery disk, ran checkdisk and it says the SDD is fine.

Ran startup recovery and it failed. In command prompt, tried
C:
BOOTREC /FIXMBR
BOOTREC /FIXBOOT
BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD
Y

Rebuildbcd failed with a message “The requested system device cannot be found.”

I then type the command
bdcboot c:\windows /s c:

Which says files have been created, but when I try restarting, I get the same blue screen. Also, all the steps above return the same results.

Tried getting a laptop repair guy to look at it, but they said it needs to be reformatted. Didnt even mention pulling off old files with a linux boot usb first, so I dont trust these guys.

Any help is appreciated. Much thanks..

My reply would have to be a resounding YES!, and at all levels…

Apropos of nothing – wimminz, you sound like you’ve lived a varied life and are someone whose answer I’d give credence to on this.

Simple question – is there more scum around now, or is it just more noticeable the older one gets?

Of course all this ties into many, many themes discussed here re: society, law.

A yes or a no will do. I just wonder if it’s my lying eyes, or my lying brain. 😉

Within the last year, the number of people Ive noticed using triple parentheses has been skyrocketing, and the number of people virtue signalling the tribe has been shrinking.

Not to mention the multitudes of people silent on the matter who just want to keep a clean internet record. The tides are changing, but most are waiting for a sea change event.

A small global minority requires an incredibly fragile technological control system to control the global population. But for psychopaths, control is the only game in town.

If there is a ground war and enough men start dying, how long will it take before some guys get the idea to march through tel aviv?
