Jim, They are 'sort of' there. Obviously running CHKDSK was a mistake. It converted all the files to .chk files, so most are probably unreadable--even if I can find them. I downloaded the UnCheck program and ran it, but it said it couldn't find any; yet I saw the file names scroll by as the virus/trojan scanner was scanning. I hate losing the data I had on that drive, but I'm sick about losing the pictures that can't be replaced.
