Yeah...exactly, try to follow that guide if you only speak English. It may be great for those that speak Russian, but when translated.... it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Once again I think we all need to thank Gradius for his due diligence and time spent, in this matter. After Finding the solution for himself, Gradius could've fixed his own drives and never returned to this forum. He could've been greedy and started charging $600+ for data recovery like every other data recovery businesses. Instead, he chose to share with us a basic data recovery guide, that personally saved me a lot of time and money. I don't care if he did copy and paste this recovery method. In my mind, his time and efforts on this forum deserve accolades and compensation. I urge everyone that has benefited from the service of these key guys (fatlip, Pichi, and Gradius) to "share the love", so to speak. If you have the resources, give these guys some incentive to keep spending their free time helping total strangers. Buy them dinner, buy them a drink, give them a dollar..... whatever. I think they deserve a little something for their time. Pete
