Thank you for getting back with me. I think I may have made matters worse. I followed the directions I was given in another forum before I saw yours and I seem to have a bigger issue. I was told to download Aomei Partition recovery. I created a boot disk to start the program but now it is giving me an error that no boot drive is installed. When I ran the test you asked everything passed but it said the drive were write protected. I really need the files off the drive. if you have any idea how I could do that even if I have to run it as an external drive.
