PING StaceyG - ok I now have all my Long Lost Files rescued via LinuxMIINT 12 Gnome and it's very useful file system and drivers.   Which had no problem reading the older Linux format Buffalo used and no problem reading/writing to Win 7's NTFS format.  Ha!  Windows won't see any Linux nuthin!   200 gigs of stuff found and copied over to a spare NTFS drive.  Back in Windows now where I know my way around.  Whew!

The Sira Black files aren't named the same way they are in our downloads here.   Most likely, Rhi sent them like I thought.  But I definitely do have them, so this entire thread needn't have happened I guess.   But I appreciate your help getting things figured out!
