Troubleshooting secrets you may want to try on your own.
I hope you can use one or two tools in this list to solve an issue you may be having right now, or one that comes up in the future. Please, please, please, do not try the more extensive (and potentially more troublesome) options unless you have a lot of experience working on computers or you are 100% certain you do not need any data that is on that computer. I don't like putting that warning in here, because the instructor in me wants you to learn, but not at the expense of losing all of your practice data. Have you tested your backup recently?
