Again much thanks to you for all that you did guiding me through.

Very frustrating experience for sure but I feel better that I learned how to recover from this and how to re-install things before the time came up where I really needed it and was in a jam to get it done. Starting from scratch is always an arduous task Hopefully I have eliminated a lot of the angst and anxiety should a drive failure occur in the future.

 Guess it got done the hardest way possible.

Thanks again !
