maybe it's time to give up and move on, rather than further waste
anyone's time ... but before I do, let me ask one more thing:  since the
 drive seems to be okay (I can see all the files when booting from
Knoppix), would it be possible to move the drive to a different computer
and read those critical files from there?  Is there a howto that would
help me do that?

Otherwise, my Rogaine bill is gonna be out of sight :-)

thanks to all.
