no problem. I go for simple, first, too. But now that we have more info to go on...;) Yup, track 0 being out is usually a bad sign. Back in the old (regular) FAT days, you could get Norton Utilities (I know, I'm dating myself..;) to  use the copy to restore the original. Heck, fdisk /mbr used to work as well, though I haven't had to do this with NTFS (just lucky, I guess).

go with the above, it's all good advice. Hope you get everything back. Once you do, burn CDs like there's no tomorrow. Always good to have a Plan B
