Well even if I do decide to trust you, I would insist you take a gratuity. I dont like to take peoples help or generosity for granted ever.  

My life is so upside down right now I am running out of options to stay afloat.  Miners ran up the electric, then my mortgage got away from me, I worked my ass off when I got out of jail in 2005 to build up my dream to DJ to becoming a reality in 2009.  I run a mobile DJ business that is a weekend gig, I must have been doing good because I played 48 gigs by my third year, then 42 my fourth, 56 my fifth year.   Then the exhaustion set in, followed by depression and bad judgement that almost ruined the business and almost got me killed twice. I used to do all this adulting on my own but somehow I started the downward spiral.   The one thing that really is messing me up is I let my sister and her son come live with me, I walked the walk I talked.  She needed a help and family is a priority.  The problem is I am an introvert and never get to recharge and always feel like I am guarding my domain.    

I figured if I could get something for this I could at least get off the ropes and have a little wiggle room.  Right now for the first time in my life my credits at its limits, my retirement has been depleted, my bank is overdrawn and its sink or swim right now.  Pride is a sonovagun to, makes asking for help difficult.

Anyway will see if I get any offers and if not I may take you up on that.  I could actually probably upload the ISO file and if I provide the USB information you should be able to rebuild it or scan it just like you would if you had the drive.  The only thing would be it wouldnt be boot/partition, it would only be the partition.  Could I give a ISO to someone to look at and be safe if I dont give the partition password?  Wondering if that is an option

Thank you again for offering to help and giving solid advice.   I am generally cautious myself, I have been internetting since the days of 10 cents a minute for AOL.  I usually worry I appear to be the scammer!!!  

You think this sounds like it maybe can be recovered, back in the day I found a lot of articles, many from this forum, that sounded like there was hope. I did save all my bookmarks, some had different programs or key recovery tools all to advanced for me.
