I think the data is okay &#8230; I&#8217;ll just have to find a way to replace the motor in the drive and see if it will spin again. So truthfully, that&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t posted in 2 weeks. Even after I replaced the drive and reloaded the operating system, I had to reload the software and the files. Problem was (is), my last backup was from last year. A lot of time was spent getting updates for older versions of software and I&#8217;ve lost a lot of documents. ?<\/p>\n<p>But the knitting continues!!
