jr2, good news, found my external backup drive I left at my parents place. Files are not up to date, but most of it is there. Better that than none at all Life is good!

Backup drive meaning backup drive or meaning your old disk from your system (i.e., do you need help pulling stuff off of it or is it a drive that you'd used to store stuff you'd already pulled off of your system)?

Links in my signature for reviving dead hard disks if you need.  (Although dead system =/= dead hard disk, sometimes you can just pull the disk and read from it if it wasn't damaged and it was instead, for example, just a dead motherboard.)

it's an external portable hard drive. It was my mom who suggested I get one many moons ago and she backed it up way back then and I didn't know it until last week. My Mom has built like 8 or 9 PC's since the late 1990's.
