    Missing Hard Drive
    « on: August 26, 2019, 06:23:34 AM »


    I have Windows 10.0.17134.950 on an Acer Aspire laptop.

    I lost my hard drive after the last update and have been trying to get it back ever since with virtually no luck.  There are plenty of fixes if you've got Windows, but my computer has no bootable device, and I can only use a recovery usb drive which allows me to boot into RAM, but only with the DOS utilities it has.  No Windows.  I've tried Diskpart and rescan and everything else I can think of, but no go.  HELP!  There must be a way to fix it without the Graphical User Interface, using the command line alone.  Diskpart does not show the hard drive, either.

    Use the Media Creator Tool to DLoad a bootable USB version of 10 and run the repairs from it...
