Ok, from what I can tell, the MBR has been trashed.
Have checked RegBack and the Dir is empty. I do have a 2nd laptop (same model, etc.) and can transfer files that way if need be. Have shortcuts and family photos to recover at least. Biz emails would be nice also, etc.
Have checked on here, and elsewhere with no luck.
Used to build/support,etc., so am fairly techie, but it's been since early XP days, so not that up on Windows 7 Pro (64bit) SP1.
What files do I need to fix, replace or registry repairs do I need?
All help appreciated.
