Hi, I have a sony vaio vgn s18 gp laptop. It is a centrino laptop with 60gb hdd. This was bought in dubai in 2005 I think.
Basically today I switched on the laptop and I got a BSOD which said "unmountable_boot_volume". I cannot get the actual error code as the screen is crack. I searched up the "unmountable_boot_volume" BSOD on the internet and it was said the hard drive is the problem it could be corrupt OS files or a not working hard drive, so I tried to use the recovery CD but even though CD optical drive is first in BIOS it would keep going to to hard drive. I then opened up the laptop and removed the hard drive and put into into a 2.5 hdd external hdd caddy but the hard drive would not show up on my pc. I basically need to get really important files of the Hard Drive is there any way? I dont really care if the hard drive is unusable after that I just really need my files. I cant use get databack as drive does not show up? I heard of the freezer trick will it work?
