Thanks Dan, *Gak* indeed, I am gambling for a few weeks until the funds open up. I will get at least a new 500 Gig maybe two drives one 250 internal and a 500 Gig Firewire external after the Power Company gets their chunk. I choked when I saw what was left of the 80 Gig but wanted to comment on the simplicity of the SuperDuper back-Up. I was surprised that it actually worked at all after hearing the Clicking from inside the Computer. I did not know which drive was bad so just Nuked all of them to see what I got. The Data was already gone.
