My Gateway NV57H73u laptop has been my computer since 2012, so I won’t complain about longevity. But when it refused to recognize the hard drive yesterday, I’m left dead in the water. It wasn’t backed up in the cloud as I thought. Is there any possibility that data could still be retrieved, or should I start crying now.
I’d pull the drive and install an SSD, here’s some options from Crucial: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatibl… Now get a USB to SATA external adapter and hook your drive up and see if it can be repaired and/or your data transferred.
