Interesting.

I also asked for an advanced search for known documents on that drive with the search to include hidden files.

Why weren't any found?

Data recovered and files and folders tranferred. I didn't need any additional software. I had to "convince" Windows I had rights to the required areas. With a potentially unstable drive it was easier to do that and then let Windows do the rest as designed.

Thank to all for the bread crumbs. Glad they didn't get eaten before I found my way out.
