I have a HP pavilion A6010n which crashed also creating the shadow copy
problem upon system restore. When I called for help to they told me to get an
external drive which I did , the same size as my C drive. That was a waste of
money. When I spent a half hour on the phone with tech support they were
clueless about this problem. They told me to get a bigger hard drive or just
copy/paste my files onto the external drive. Then they try to sell me an
extended warranty. For this great support???
