Glad to here you are back up and running

Yes, it is a lot of work and thats is why an IT tech charges what they do.
Considering the time it took you to get this up and running (by your self) though, I think you saved a little

Just glad you were able to do it and saved ALL this info

.
Make sure you have a good backup program to backup this drive, so you do not have to go through this again

PS- I will mark the thread as SOLVED, but I wish to give simpswr and all others that helped to reply and have the thread closed. Of course a higher up may do it also.
