Seems like I'm back up and running. I bought a 4TB WD Red & a new Corsair 100R
case; transferred everything except for the dead HDD and I'm starting to recover
the missing files.
There are one or two that are just gone forever. I'll have to recreate them best
I can; mainly my blood sugar record spread sheet that exactly recreated the
paper form the doctor gave me to keep the record on ... the blocks were so tiny
I got cramps in my hand trying to write the numbers in.
The other one is the spread sheet I keep for fuel mileage and maintenance. I've
got an older one I can copy over as a template and then just fill in the numbers
from my log book.

MY second hard-drive (Drive 'D:') just crashed with no warning. BIOS
doesn't recognize it. Dead as a door-nail.
I'm pretty sure the only thing I don't have a backup for is the spread
sheet I use to record my blood sugar. My spread sheet for recording
fuel & maintenance is also gone, but I can rebuild it from the book I
keep in the car to write mileage down.
I'm going to lose some songs I'd been learning to play. Hadn't gotten
them to the point where I could finalize them and save them as PDF
files (which I keep on a memory stick). And most of the computer games
I play were on that drive, but they can be re-installed from Steam
once I get the new drive installed ...
... but the computer store is closed on Sunday, so I can't get a
replacement to fix the problem until tomorrow.
