I was in a hurry and shut my computer off manually. When I came home to restart my computer, I noe get a, " we apolagize for the inconvienence, windows did'nt start successfully". I have tried all of the modes, and nothing is working. Has my hard drive crashed, loosing all of my data? What can I do?
Respectfully,

- What happens exactly after you see this message? - What "modes" did you try? What happens in each case? |

If your hard drive crashed, it has nothing to do with you "being in a hurry" and just shutting down the pc.
