Thank you very much for your help and patience. I gave up and replaced the hard drive. That's a first for me. I was surprised by how easy it was. -

still creepy slow, disk at 100%. It took me ages just to get the info onto the thumb drive. click folder, wait 3 minutes, click something in the folder, wait 10 minutes, Microsoft management console not responding... Most frustrating -

tried it, got this message access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges You have to invoke this utility running in an elevated mode So I tried to search CMD from the start menu to run it as admin, several times. It timed out, saying that something went wrong...taking too long... search again?"
