I recently posted on this forum regarding a problem with my RAM on my laptop, which I have subsequently sent for repair.
(See https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=761027#post761027)
And so I came to look at my backups on an external HDD and found that they are stored within 3 separate brief cases (all created on the same system), none of which I am able to access. When I try to open them I receive the error,
“The Briefcase cannot be opened because the disk is inaccessible. Verify that the disk is accessible.”
I know that this is probably caused by the fact that the original location (my broken laptop) is not connected, but if that laptops HDD is wiped while being repaired I don’t know of any way to access my back up files.
I read something on this forum with a very similar problem involving using command prompt and deleting the “Brief Case Index File” or something along those lines, but I didn’t understand the instructions. And so if someone could please help me out and give some detailed, explicit direction I would be so very grateful.
All replies would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
tmw
