I am up and running on the SSD. I am unable to fix the old C drive to functionality, or my samples drive. I'm hoping when the creator of testdisk responds to my logfile, he'll be able to tell me what to do in testdisk to repair them - or not. Then I guess I just format the old C to use for an image, and reload over 1/2 aTB of samples and point the programs to them. I'm really hoping for the former.

I have been around computers since the dawn of time and I have no idea what "RAW" means in this context. My screen resolution will not display your screenshots in anything readable. And I have no idea what you did other than to attach some external drive(s). Did just attaching them cause some kind of problem?
