    hi forum,

    So I wanted to backup some data really fast so I took the drive out of my notebook and put it in my pc. The drive said it was offline in disk management so I told it to be online

    After making a backup of the drive pretty fast I tried to run it in my notebook again and now it said it wont boot and needs restore.

    I did not change nothing on the drive I just backup some large data and put it back in the notebook?

    Does anyone know what is wrong? It still shows an active partition and Im pretty stumped now.

    Id hate to reinstall the whole OS again as the startup repair disc is not working
