The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I only know of 2 things that make that check box grayed out.
    1. You are not loged in as that user.
    2. You are not using NTFS

    If its not one of those 2 then I got no idea sorry.

    This is usually the case for all the repair process.They wipe the whole data because it might be very troublesome to try and revive or reinstall windows.They just throw in their recovery disks and BOOM ! The whole data is gone :laugh:
