My dual setup suffered a major issue. Recently I played Bo 3 and the OS crashed unexpectedly. It restarted me to the Clover bootloader and then switched to macOS, but that OS was damaged and forced me back to reboot. I tried Windows and it showed a BSOD saying my NTFS driver was corrupted. I have 4 TB of crucial data and important server files. How can I back up everything so dual boot works properly? I bought an SP900 128 GB drive for $20—it was worth it—but I’m unsure if a temporary reinstall will connect me to my server and copy the data correctly. Also, can I use Windows’ Apple HFS system or do I need a Linux distribution?
It seems your partition table might be damaged, possibly indicating a faulty hard drive. Try connecting it to another operating system—such as a Linux live distribution without installation—and create a backup. For future safety, always keep a reliable backup plan, as disk issues are common in dual-boot setups.
I possess a backup server but still have items I can't safely move to the cloud. I have two partitions on an 850 EVO drive—one for macOS and another for Windows—and I own a WD Purple 3 TB (750 GB for macOS) plus a WD Red 6 TB (Windows-only) that I recently purchased.
My laptop runs a dual operating system setup with Windows 7 Enterprise and Ubuntu 15.04 for five years now.
SSH is my go-to method for file transfers, and I have a highly secure network. However, I experienced a DDoS attack for about five days recently, which makes me a little worried.
