When I try starting my Laptop HP 250 G4, it Display a message saying "Selected boot image did not Authenticate. Press <Enter> to continue." I then pressed "Enter" as instructed but it immediately turns off.
I then runned a Hard Disk Test and the result became :
"Testing Drive: 1
SMART Check: PASSED
Long DST: FAILEDFAILURE ID: GSJL3L-82E856-XD7WLK-61FN03
PRODUCT ID : NOZ78EA#ACQ"Please Help me!
I Thank you in advanced.
Your laptop's hard drive reports that it can no longer hold your data, and that includes Windows. If the laptop is still under warranty, seek a replacement.
Is there anything on the drive you'd like to recover/save? If so.. post back for a possible "how to..."
If you send the system back to vendor/manufacturer (at least the drive itself - presuming it's under warranty) you will likely lose all your personal files etc. in the process. Highly unlikely any support team will bother to try to recover/save them for you...
Yes there's a lot i would like to recover. How to?
Boot up with a Linux DBD which will load into RAM only. Do NOT install it. Then you can locat/access the hard drive and hopefully copy files to DVDs. Ubuntu.com is one source an ISO which download and burn to a DVD. Boot with that DVD. Do not try to write or install or save anything to the hard drive.
