@MarkTechArc72 I think this is a hardware failure. USB controllers seem to have gone. -
@bazzacollins But you can boot from USB??? That is odd! Do you have a CD drive and boot from that??? -
@MarkTechArc72 Nope. Booting is not the problem. Just trying to get data off the laptop. -
@bazzacollins No eSata Port?

@david_hewson I dread to think how much they will charge to sort out this mess. -
