I have a HP 14 r113tu notebook laptop which was installed an operating system windows 8.1 with bing and now replaced by windows 8.1 pro.
First let me tell you the story..

I was not given any windows installations disk nor the original windows which was pre install on my laptop. Now two days ago.. When I start up my laptop, I seen an error message showing (Boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk). Hard disk

Upgraded to Windows 10. Mistake. Now Windows not working after a week. I did the steps above, but it will not let me see what was on my hard drive. It says error mounting. Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Then – Failed to mount, the NTSF partition is in an usafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully or mount the volume read-only with the ‘ro’ mount option.

I set the bios to ONLY boot from the DVD. I’ve shut down and restarted and still get this. Not sure how to shut windows down fully. I also tried the mount ‘ro’ option, but the mount doesn’t have a ‘ro’ option. Help is appreciated. I can’t afford to lose what was on this PC. Many thanks.

I’m soooo glad to have found your page. It gave me courage and patience to make it to the end, it was a big challenge for me but I can now see my files being actually copied.
Thank you!!!

In reply to Tapan. @ Tapan,

am getting the below error while trying to boot ubuntu.. kernel panic â€“ not syncing: Attempt to kill init! exitcode = 0Ã—00000600 drm_kms_helper: panic occured, switching back to text console. Could you please help me out why i am not able to boot ubuntu.

Maybe your hardware not supported by Ubuntu Linux. You can try Knoppix.

I need to take the backup of my very important data

Also, you can use external USB enclosure to back up data. Check this out: http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/04/17/access-hard-drive-using-usb-enclosure/

Hi.

I completed the process as you told, but when i connected my external HDD to my other laptop, the folder is shown where i copied my files from a infected laptop on my external drive, but i am unable to open and view the contents.

Kindly provide me a alternate at the earliest, as it is very urgent.

regards,
