Good idea to always keep in mind that in the past, not that far in the past, books were not generally published unless an actual editor went through it first.
Certainly these days that impact is far less including cases where it doesn't happen at all.

Quote: "...I am looking for a solution..."
is it not obvious?
Firstly, this post comes across very arrogant and I personally think that you are limiting your future assistance from most members that have been supporting you loyally in the past in your numerous questions for help.
You might not think that a post from a person/member is related or is a solution to your question but I can almost ensure you that the person/member that took the time, their own free time at that, to answer your question that you found unsolvable saw it as a solution. For you to then question that free time given to your cause is totally unacceptable and I really think you should re-think your post here and offer some kind of apology.
I for one will ignore your future questions and will rather spend my free time helping someone that will appreciate the effort. I also welcome your down vote on this as it will prove my point.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Just to repeat what others are saying, I also know that if I don't see much effort put into the question... like did the poster try A or B or at least Google something first... I'm less inclined to help. Not trying to saying all replies are perfect, and I do agree I've seen some bad ones. But, it's safe to say certainly not all posters are perfect either.
I find if a poster respects the time of the peeps who answer, enough to do just a little work - even if that means writing more than "where codez?" - it does tend to go better. I think... I hope... maybe?

Well, my honest feelings about this inelegant fellow is that until he "'fesses" up and gives us the true location of his "unseenedness" (by editing his particulars to out his use of the mercan flag) he's just being colorful for the sake of color.

Yeah, you just had to say it. The only person who wastes your time is you, with these childish whines that you are not getting the service you think you are entitled to.

I do not feel my time wasted here... I just bought popcorn and took a sit. Relaxing from technical content for a while can be refreshing :P
Thank you for the entertainment

I have been thinking about the area of asking questions recently.
Asking a well formed question is a skill, it's not a given that everyone knows how to ask a well-formed question.
I think teaching kids how to ask a question should be part of what they learn at school.
Salvatore Terress wrote: do I have to spell it out ?
Yes, you do have to spell it out.
Here is a great example of asking questions with a journalist asking Richard Feynman a question, where Feynman points out how the question is difficult to answer ->Richard Feynman Magnets - YouTube[^]

(Importunately ) I have to disagree for (simple) reason
such point of view emphasizes the FORM of the question and ( most of the time)
misses the subject of the question.
I have experienced sites which basically stopped the post
because it was not formatted properly or my English was not good enough,
and when my post was accepted it was promptly rewritten.
Of course when
I pointed out that my post was not for purpose of perfect English presentation
I was prompt banned.
And there are sites which tells me that "your past posts were not accepted well..."
All of this is NOT based on
"customer is always right..."

The simple fact is the customer is NOT always right and kissing a customer's backside is not the purpose of this site.
The actual quote is, "In matters of taste, the customer is always right." The first phrase is an important point of distinction.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Side note, that might not be the best example video. I only watched the first 30 seconds, but in that clip Richard was being way too literal and not understanding the perspective of the person asking in the common vernacular. As in, we know Feynman is supposed to be the smart one and not the interviewer. But, Feynman can't understand what it means to not know. If you can't learn to communicate with "lesser minds" it's easy enough to argue your mind isn't that great either.
What anyone who understands anything about humans would read from the first 30 seconds of that clip was a display of defensiveness at best or arrogance at worst. Ironically enough, 99% of people who spend time with real people can see that.  Also, you may want to study body language because it's real and useful when reading people.
Love him or hate him, Neil deGrasse Tyson does a much better job of communicating. Which is probably why he's so well-known. Point of all this is, Richard did not come out in this scenario looking like a super genius or even decent at being a conversationalist.

Why would you need CPU memory to read the disk drive?
From looking at their web page, their drives are all SSDs. Open the device, look at the SSD model, and then google the SSD model to see the interface type. Get an SSD enclosure that matches the SSD interface (SATA/M.2-SATA/M.2-NVMe to USB), and connect that to another PC.

Are you sure that your files are saved in processor memory? I would expect them to be on a rotating or solid state disk.

Your memory module is a Dynamic random-access memory[^] (the second 'D' in DD4). This type of memory doesn't retain anything the moment power goes down.
As others have said, look for somewhere else where your data is stored.
