Thanks for getting back to me. So a question to ask *Brasero's bad read attempt spoiled the two ASUS drives until they got a power-off-on cycle. If the drive is built into the computer this means a power-off-on cycle of the computer, i fear* What does doing a power off/on cycle entail ??? Disconnecting the Drive and computer from power and replugging it in or something more complex ?? On Sat, Mar 12, 2022 at 5:30 PM Thomas Schmitt
