I've tried just about everything I could up to this point, searching the forums and other sites high and low to figure it out on my own. My attempts were futile (although I did learn quite a bit in the process).
I could try and explain more, but I think posting the log should do more justice. This log is the appended version.
It would mean so much to me if I could recover the files on this drive; years of my research and inventions are stored on it. Either way, I'd like to thank the people of these forums in advance for the diligent work I've seen in so many previous posts. An excellent community for an excellent program.
