Please help me with my external HDD problem , i am begging you!
If booting your external HDD shows you an installer for Endless OS, it sounds like you (or somebody using your computer) may have set up an Endless install USB on your external HDD. We can see what’s on the disk and try and find what’s happened by first examining the partition table. Which OS is running on your computer now?
If it’s Endless OS, please search for “Disks” on the desktop, and find your external HDD in the list on the side. Select it so that it shows the partitions on the right hand side, and then take a screenshot (hit Print Scrn button) or photo with a phone and attach it.
If you have Windows running on your PC now, you can do the same thing with the “Disk Management” tool, if you search on the Start Menu. Take a screenshot or photo to show us the partitions on your external HDD and attach it here.
