How is everyone getting the data off a win 8 machine to restore it once you reinstall win8?
Apparently you can't just hook it up and get the data.

How is everyone getting the data off a win 8 machine to restore it once you reinstall win8?

I dont know what you are doing that you cannot get the data off cause i just
loaded a hard drive with win 8 pro and then i took it and connected it to the
system I am on now and I am able to access the libraries and get the data off without issue.
So this leads me to 2 very very pertinent questions.
1: exactly what was it that crashed such a new system?
2: was it infected by the cryptolocker virus?

Ahh found it (gpt protected)
IC my shop machines are all xp so it appears that I may need to upgrade to win7 on at least one of them.
Yes April 1 is coming very fast and with a zero exploit now looming large on the horizon for XP.
I should say that it's time
