| | Easy Transferred files to Recovery Drive by mistake I used the easy transfer cable and the transferred files were automatically placed in my D drive which is the "The Factory Image" Recovery drive and I am now receiving error messages that the drive is too full. When I try to open the drive to delete the files I just transferred I get a message that files in the drive cannot be changed or altered as it would prevent recovery. I have tried a system restore and that has failed no matter what restore point I choose. I have even tried to restore the system to factory image but to no avail. Please help. |
