Hi...
I've tried many things offered by the net and AI but to no avail. I've been at it for well over 5 hours so I'm not one of those peeps asking for help before trying a gazillion things!
Basically I went to restart my machine and it offered me an option to restart or restart with...
backup
corrupted files
data loss
disksnapshot
driveclone
external drive
file recovery
filecorruptionrecovery
fileexport
shadow copy
shadow explorer
system files
system restore
vssadmin
windows recovery
windows troubleshooting
windows update
