EDIT

TL;DR: BSOD on Lenovo Laptop. BIOS gave me 2 different reasons: error code 0xc0000185 EFI Hard Drive (WDC WD10SPZX-24Z10) Boot Failed

Took laptop to a local repair shop. Guy said HD messed up his diagnostic testing machine, HD is shot and he can't recover any data. Told me to ship it to a specialist company in California for anywhere between $200-800. He wants $150 to swap out the old HD for a used Solid State HD and diagnostic testing, plus parts/labor and I'll get my old HD back too. I HAVE NOT PAID HIM YET. He still has my laptop.

It's less user friendly. Much like an apple product is supposed to be way more user friendly, and therefore has many unnecessary restrictions upon it.

There's no GOOD reason an iPhone shouldn't plug into a Windows computer, and showup as a usb drive. Exactly like any other device would.

Same way my android phone should show up as a usb drive on my friends apple laptops

But it doesn't

Linux doesn't do that shit, and there's way more tools that do things easily..

Also you can jeasily have Linux on a bootdisx, or usb drive for specifically doing stuff like this.

It can even look like windows. I used lindoze distribution for a while.

But you have to know what you are doing more with Linux, than windows, or an apple product.
