That explains why the suggested solutions were basically zero cost.

HEHE...i understand.

I personally was not willing to pay, but my client (client, for lack of a better word)was.
Spinrite seems like a nice little app. Courious what some of you more experinced guys think of it.

Also still courious what the exact issue with the drive was/is. If it was infact the partition table, how does something like that get messed up like that. I know the family that owns this pc uses it mainly for general internet and email. They dont really do any downloading or anything like that. I have been the only person that has worked on thier computer for a few years and i have even noticed they dont pick up as much malware as other comps i have cleaned up.
