Michael, Thank you for your considerate reply. However, the drive in question, when inserted into the laptop's #2 position somehow prevent the new hd with a functioning install of Gutsy from booting. Can you please recommend a GUI program that will allow me to manipulate the bricked drives and pull off the files I need? If such a thing is not possible can I send the drives to Ubuntu headquarters and have one of the 'brains' make a recovery and examination for the purpose of improving Ubuntu? I'll pay postage and insurance both ways.
