What does the above message mean?  I have pictures that were not saved on an external hard drive.  Can I save what is on the hard drive? 

HP Recommended

Actually, I meant to ask Can I retrieve what is on the hard drive?

HP Recommended

It is hard to say.

 

Sometimes you can, but most times you can't.

 

You would have to either purchase or borrow a usb hard drive enclosure for a notebook or desktop hard drive depending on whether we are talking about a notebook or desktop hard drive, and see if the drive can be read from another PC by plugging it into a usb port on another PC.

I know this error very well.

unfortunately you have made or system has made OS Partition inactive.

Remove the HDD or SSD from your system, connect it to any other sysem.

Switch on that system, press Windows logo key+x and select disk management.

right click on  your own HDD or SSD' s OS Partition, and then select partition active.

 

 

Best of Luck
