So what ever happened to this? :)

What has happened is that I had a major Pc crash and my archive is sitting on the crashed drive. Only just got my Pc up and running again. I had a faulty IDE cable which caused this. replaced that. But no so sure I can access the crashed drive.
I'll soon let other coconuts know If I'm successful.
