Two days ago it ( Samsung laptop with windows 8 ) froze up with a bunch of pages open. I waited and it did not change so I pushed the power button for about a minute and its never worked since. When you try to boot up a screen appears that says " Preparing automatic repair " then a cirlcle spinning then black screen . I need help please !!!! I have no special boot disc that I can recall . It looks like I can get in to the bios by pushing f2 and something else when I push f10.
Thank you for your time.
At the bottom click down arrow to right of Files of type and select All files
Click on the down arrow to the right of Look in:
Click on the drive with Windows on (E: I think, if not try F: G: etc)
Click on Users
Click on Your username
Click on Pictures
The pictures should be there now, click on one and send to D:
Check that it copied to D ok
You will have to look around for the Pictures, they should be in a Pictures folder somewhere, unless you put them somewhere else of course. Remember to change the Files of type to All Files first.
If you can't find them I think we should try a different approach by putting the hard drive into a Usb caddie or connecting it with a Usb cable, then you can use Windows/File Explorer to look for the files you want to keep. Let me know if you want to try that please.
