I have been having some Blue screen problems and could use some help. I sent it to a friend who today sent me a the following e-mail.
Laptop is blue screening again. So far we have ran hard drive test, a memory test. Now we are doing a complete recovery on the operating system. Do you think my computer can be saved? Also, what does he mean by complete recovery of the operating system? |

Sounds like he is reinstalling the operating system.

Would that mean I am going to lose things like (My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Favorites, desktop files, application data, etc.)

Yes you would. But he may also be trying to do a Repair Install. In that case you won't loose anything.

Rule #1 of sending your data to someone else is to keep another copy.
If he is doing a complete reinstall and is formatting the drive (you can reinstall right over the top but most just wipe it) you may lose your data.

How could I keep a copy if I could not even get into it once it started blue screening.

Because your supposed to have a regular copy , meaning every week - month you should make a back up copy of your files to a flash drive, secondary hd , cd etc. But I'm guessing you wouldn't know how to do this right? If not then surely you have friends who could do it for you, maybe the friend thats taking a look at your computer now.

The other answer is because you don't get a blue screen in a BIOS - if your memory is good, plenty of solutions exist for backing up data outside of Windows.
Too late for that now, though.

To late to do anything about that now.
![]() I could still get into safe mode with the blue screen pop up.. With that said, can I send "my music" my document" ect. onto a memory stick by way of being in safe mode? |

I did not hear this straight from the guy fixing my laptop, as my wife talked to him. But she thinks he told her that I needed a memory card for my Dell Insprion 2200 laptop, and that they were about $50 bucks. He is trying to find one off of another laptop that would work, so I would not need to buy one myself. The only think I could fine by way of using Goggle is this part K5198 - 64MB USB Memory key.
1. Does it sound like to you guys that this device could save everything for me? 2. With it being a USB device, will it always have to permanently remain on my laptop, or once everything is saved it can be removed? |
