Hey guys,
As the title indicates, the main topic of this thread has to do with my attempt at transferring a few folders from my laptop's hard drive to my main PC by connecting the hard drive directly to the desktop PC's motherboard via a SATA cable. I initially thought that this wouldn't be a problem (some of you are probably shaking your heads at this lol) but after failing to transfer the files (due to numerous permission requests from the hard drive) I then tried to reconnect the hard drive to the laptop. On start up, it seemed to take much longer than usual and after logging in, the desktop looks as shown on the picture below (the "all folders" folder includes most of my documents and folders located on the desktop for privacy reasons). Now is there a way of somehow being able to fix this and restore the laptop into its previous working state especially because I use it for school which starts in about a week or so? Thanks in advance.
