Thanks again Jumanji. Truly, all of my drives as large as 2Tb get backed up weekly, and my operating systems drives get backed up daily or every two days. For my 10 3Tb drives I have purchased a software RAID parity solution, but haven't gotten it configured properly yet. This has been a good reminder that I need to make that a priority! April

I have seen strange problems with GPT disks twice. Furthermore I don't know much about all the GPT-structures on disk. What I do know... you can simply copy a GPT data partition to a MBR disk partition (using PW).

MBR stuff is much easier to troubleshoot... at least for me.

Again, thanks Kaktussoft. As Jumanji pointed out, you suggested copying off my data with PW. And at the end of the day, recovering the files is what counts. And no offense, but I hope I don't have either GPT or MBR disk partitions again any time soon

Be well, April
