Sorry for the delay in getting back with you.
Level 4 found no errors on the drive. I downloaded OnTracks trial software and tried it. My computer would freeze up every time I tried to start the program, even though It seems to have installed just fine.
At this point I ran the WD HDD test software, then hooked the drive to my desktop and ran the CHKDSK x: /r on it and it brought the majority of files I needed back to where I could copy them. The Windows directory was gone, but I won't be using this drive anymore anyway. My AVG antivirus found about 6 Trojan viruses also.
I know the SpinRite went in and found and repaired some errors, I guess I need to read up a little on the instructions and see if I missed something on reading the disk after repair. Thanks for your help, my friend was very pleased to have thier vacation pictures back and will start a regular back-up regiment. Thanks again...cork
