wow what a neat little program
http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm and FREE!!!
It found 11 logical drives/partitions on the larger drive and 9569 directories. (I don't even want to begin to know how many files are in those directories - I know some have well over 200 files in them)..
Now I just have to figure out how to copy them onto the other drive.
Still have to finish loading programs onto the computer but I'm getting there
