Windows 10 can't boot or recover files

Based on the information you provided, it seems like the data on your hard drive might be intact, but you are unable to access your Windows installation properly. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot this issue and potentially recover your files: 1. Check Hard Drive Health: - Boot SystemRescue from the USB and run disk diagnostics to ensure the drive is healthy. Tools like smartmontools or gsmartcontrol in Linux can help analyze the drive's health. 2. Access Data Using Linux: - While in SystemRescue, navigate to your Windows drive and check if you can locate your user files under C:\Users\YourUserName. If you can't see them, check other directories like Documents, Pictures, etc. 3. Missing Windows Installation: - Certain system files like Program Files and Windows may not be visible in Linux due to permissions or file system differences. Focus on retrieving your user data first. 4. File Recovery: - If you can't find your files, consider using data recovery tools like TestDisk, PhotoRec, or Recuva from a Windows recovery environment to attempt to recover lost files. 5. Windows Boot Repair: - Create a Windows installation USB (using the Media Creation Tool) and boot into the Recovery Environment. Try automatic repair options like Startup Repair to fix boot issues. 6. Access Files from Recovery Environment: - In the Windows recovery environment, you can access the Command Prompt and navigate to your hard drive using diskpart to copy off important files before attempting repairs. 7. Backup Important Data: - Once you have access to your files, copy them to an external storage device to ensure you have a backup before proceeding with repair attempts. Please proceed cautiously while attempting any repairs to avoid further data loss.
