Hi there,

I have an ASUS UX31. When Microsoft offered me to upgrade to 10, without backing my computer up, I started to install. But unfortunately, it did not complete. Now I cant run my laptop, because there is only a message saying " missing operating system".
To save my data, I bought the adapter (http://www.ebay.de/itm/SATA-Ad... and inserted my sandisk hard drive. I plugged both usb connectors to a working computer but, it says "you can use it after having formatted" I don't want to lose my data.
I may not have properly protected the HD by using anti static bag, may I have lost it or do I need additional software to read the contents of my laptops main Hard drive?? May you help me out?
Thank you very much in advance

Thank you for your response, but I'm afraid it won't help. Because my adapter has the same features. Once I bumped to a message in forums (but I can't find it now) saying; to make the transfer we supposed to install an operating system??? or so..
