Okay, the files are on the drive. Their formats have been altered. All .docs and .pdfs are either not opening or showing scrambled text.
We suspect it is because the drive was used on a TV set changing structures of non video and audio files. I have done my best. If anyone is within town and has a good thought, please let me know, I can drop by with it at your office tomorrow in the late AM. Thanks.
