The tech guy happened to call me when I was reading this. I asked him again he couldn't recover anything. I forgot to ask him about chkdsk E:/f/r /x" E: I believe it was the C drive. It was a 1 TB hard drive. I live in the USA Manassas Virginia. It came with windows 8 then I upgraded to windows 10. I previously tried many times myself to start windows and I don't think I remember seeing a safe mode network or if I did I couldn't figure it out. I think I remember seeing an option for command prompt

Take a look at this link and maybe you will find how to do the safe mode networking here https://support.eset.com/kb2268/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

I don't know if the chkdsk will work on windows 10 I haven't tested yet because this OS have their own recovery if the hard disk and OS is corrupted but you can try it.

$400 USD is too expensive for recovering a file but it depends on the size of the hard drive. Mostly here we are asking for $50 to $200 per 500gb. If you are near here in my country why not just go to our shop and let me try to recover it.

Anyway, I think you can fix the corrupted hard drive with few commands.

Let me ask if the hard drive includes the windows OS? If yes then you can access the safe mode with networking?

If you access this then you can use this command "chkdsk E: /f /r /x" E: is a sample drive letter if you know which drive letter is corrupted just replace it.

It will fix your corrupted hard disk but If this doesn't work you need a Hiren's proteus boot CD or USB but this is mostly used by professional tech and only a few techs have this. However, you can use the free version of Hiren's I think they also have some recovery tools but what we need is the backup tool where you can create a clone backup of your harddisk and transfer it to extra hard disk just to protect your corrupted hard drive from destroying everything from your hard drive while recovering your all files.

Now, you can use any recovery tool from Hiren's from here https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd

You won't be able to recover those coins only with the transaction id. You need to able to access private keys which are stored on that hard drive. Professional data recovery is extremely expensive and they still might not recover what you need. Modern wallets generate a seed (12 or 24 words) which can be used to recover the wallet on any other device.

Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I just found out from the computer repair shop that the tech was unable to retrieve the data I had on my hard drive. Previously I downloaded a bunch of cold storage wallets and deposited coins in them. I was forced to transfer because Cryptopia was delisting the coin. The tech told me he could send the hard drive to some other place but it would be about $400 but I told him to forget about it and just put a new hard drive since I don't think the total amount of coins in US dollars is worth close to $400. I am wondering if there is a way I could still retrieve the coins from the cold storage wallet. I will know the transaction information from the cryptopia exchange as well as an email that i clicked to confirm the transaction.
