   But I already told the OP all the data is still there, on the drive.   
   I showed the OP how to access all that data.   
      
   Paul and I have done it many (many!) times. As had almost everyone here.   
   It's not difficult to do. But since it's so trivial, maybe I misunderstand?   
      
   The only thing that is difficult is to log into the operating system after   
   you BOOT to that drive, but if you boot on another drive, the data is free.
