Hi there. I can’t thank you enough for your excellent way of giving us a step by step tutorial. I am in the middle of saving all my files now. My surface book is stuck on Automatic Repair and nothing seems to be working. I suspect my c drive is completely full. Would you recommend deleting files in command prompt to help free up space, and if so, do you have a video on that?
If your drive is full, then deleting some of the junk files to free up room the computer may not want to overwrite may address the problem, but not necessarily. I do not have a video on this, but I could make one. Essentially though you would find the file you want to delete - the syntax (the command you tell the computer) would be del "filename". So as an example, let's say you had a huge video file you've backed up and it's called BIGVIDEO, it's a .mov file and you know it's on your desktop. You would get to your desktop in my example above by using the directory commands to get to C:\Users\Nick\Desktop> - then use the command del "BIGVIDEO.mov". Would look like this: C:\Users\Nick\Desktop>del "BIGVIDEO.mov" It will likely ask you to confirm, and you would press 'y' to do so. Be very careful because if you delete a file this way it is gone forever.
My parents harddrive failed on the windows start up, no way to recover windows, reinstall/repair windows or access it in any way. They were scared to lose all the videos and photos they had of my sister and brother as kids, but I knew from the past that a friend of mine (who passed away) did something like this with my external HDD that failed. This helped me backup all the precious photos they stored on the drive. Thanks so much for the clear explanation.
I had just about given up, I had taken my vacuum eight times and cleaned it numerous times and then I tried your technique to fix my iRobot and it fixed it! Thank you so much for sharing with us!! ❤🎉❤
Probably not. If you know the name of the deleted file, you may be able to recover it if it is sitting in a temp file or cached somewhere. A data recovery specialist is likely a better option.
Thanks for the video! My fan blade was jammed. Used Q-tip and air but still binding a little bit. About to look into replacing when I used needle nose pliers to gently lift fan blade upward and rotate to maybe jar it loose (not remove it!). Still a little binding. Used little finger to rotate the blade some more and it suddenly broke loose. Will see how long it lasts. Thank you again!
My Roomba 960, a work horse for the past7+ years, I thought was ready to be replaced. Your simple instructions fixed it. Terrific! I've liked and subscribed!
This was exactly what I needed and it was surprisingly difficult to find for my circumstances. I have/had a Samsung 980 EVO that just crapped out because of the firmware issue and was firmware locked to read-only to protect the drive. My issue was that Windows wouldn't copy the files without changing the permissions but it couldn't change them because it couldn't write new ones to the drive. I thought CMD would honor read/write permissions but I'm very thankful it doesn't. I was close to buying an expensive recovery tool but I just refused to believe that I couldn't get the files out without it, since Windows would happily access the files if it could change the permissions.
Opened up the whole bin, cleaned in thoroughly but forgot to unstuck the blades.... Thanks to this video I understood the problem, unstuck the blades and didnt have to buy a new bin! Thanks a lot!
I was able to copy all my important personal/work files before doing a clean install of Windows. This tutorial is mind blowing! Thank you so much, Nick! 🥰
como complemento de tu información, simplemente puedes ejecutar: notepad, abrir archivo, mostrar todos los tipos de archivos (no solo txt) y utilizarlo como explorador y hasta ejecutar algunas aplicaciones de 64bits como bootice, winntsetup, etc. ademas de copiar tus archivos y visualizar un poco mas comodo las unidades
I love that you speak like a friend. You don't add in a bunch of unnecessary things to get attention, you just share what needs to be shared. And adding in other information about what the commands actually do along the way and why we type them the way we do is super appreciated. I'll look later, but I hope you have more videos on using cmd and things.
