Recently had to reformat my hard drive and I lost all my info. And like a dummy i didn't save my masterkey or word phrases to recover it  :'(
Wasn't too much money on it but after installing it the first time and recovering it semi successfully it failed to let me know it was a read only account and i sent more money to it. After not being able to send coins I restarted electrum and was prompted with the unfortunate news. On the electrum site i noticed a transaction might still be possible by confirming a signature or something which i tried for quite awhile w/ many different combos but no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

i think this is hopless, i can´t image that someone can help you with this.
i wish you good luck.. those things happens .. if you dont save passwords/secretw.´s.

sorry for you

Try to sweep the private key to the another wallet use it for transactions bro. It takes some time to complete the data transfer then you can do that bro.

Right on i've been kinda attempting that but the sign button never shows up like it does on the electrum site in the help section.. appreciate the help.. didn't know i might have to wait some time? all i can do is use my other wallet n use that ones private key/address i think to sign for the transaction.. it seems possible i think im just doing it wrong.. I've worked pretty hard in the past for 60$ i'm not gonna give up now lol.. i also tried like saving an attempted transaction and loading it

It doesn't work like that. You need to have the right private key. Any private key will not work.

Unfortunately your Bitcoin is most likely lost. Without the master private key or the seed phrases, the private keys to your wallet cannot be recovered and thus you cannot spend the Bitcoin. It may be possible to do disk recovery to try to recover the lost data, but given that you seem to have been using the computer for a while, that probably won't work.

bummmmmmerrrrrrr.... thanks anyhoo
