>My brother-in-law owns a computer repair store and he was just telling me the other day that he can sometimes get data off hard drives using a different OS then Windows when Windows can't read them. I can get some more info from him if you'd like or give you his number....

Thanks, Kevin. I learned from Mike C. that the Ghost backup is more useful than I thought. You can restore individual files and folders from it, not just the entire drive image. That is what I am doing now and all that will be lost is things she had saved in the past 5 days, which isn't much.
