Hilarious?

I checked everything that you guys suggested short of taking apart my laptop or reinstalling windows. Four drivers have errors that I was unable to fix. I was about to restore windows when I realized that I had not saved my passwords. I guess that I could have exported them from my desktop, but I rebooted just for the passwords.

It looks like my 8 GB flash drive had the windows memory test and a password resetter. The 32 GB only showed up as 240 MB and had Memory Test 86 and Windows Diagnostics. There was a setting there for restoring Windows, but I repartitioned and reformatted it in order to back up my files. There wasn't enough room, so I tried to compress them, but then my hard drive started running out of space.

If I need a new hard drive I would like a larger one, but I am confident that I could clear out gigabytes.

The extended warranty would just give me another 256 GB one.

It looks like the external SATA connector that I had been using died, but I had another. The second hard drive seemed to work, so I started copying things over, paused it, set up in my office to see a client, and then copied the rest during the session.
