I tried to locate all the disk/disk recovery utilities (oodles of 'em) that I've got stashed in several boxes for several different O.S. eras. I ran Norton Disk Recovery, and _____* to be edited in later*_____ , to no avail. I'd unplugged and de-cabled the DOA-Drive so as not to do any more damage (or, worse, forget to hit cancel and re-initialize that wretched HDD!) and had all but given up on it.
Alas, I found AlSoft's DiskWARRIOR today and gave it another shot . . . :
VOILA!!!!! 8-o New directory . . . working drive . . . [

When I get home, HOPEFULLY, all the gazillions of files will have been backed up and I can rest easy!
