Recovering data with broken system
Windows 8.1 won't boot on this device. I have some important files to recover from it. Bootable usb with linux doesn't help. Is there a way to get them back?
Is this a good question?

You can try using an external USB adapter for the drive and then connect it to a working computer to try to copy your data.

does it have hdd though?
HDD or SSD? both should work fine with a hard drive docking station. You can find them on amazon I'm sure, or just open up your desktop and connect with sata.

Do you have a working desktop PC? So you could test the disk.

Problem fixed: i booted the windows 8.1 usb drive, then launched cmd. Using it I managed to move all the files to the usb. However switching between the drives doesn't work without "cd /d c:\".
