Thanks for the suggestion. I do have the latest Cinnamon Mint distro, but have been so busy trying to get my W10 22H2 system set up again--lost everything on the C:--I haven't had time to play with the Linux OS.

My C: disk was critical, cannot be accessed at all. Even SpinRite spent more than 24 hours trying to fix probs. Had to shut it down.

Had to reinstall everything, and still don't have it done.

My D: drive is in excellent shape, but I can't get to it from my laptop, even though W11 sees it on the home network.

I have used EaseUS, but nothing can get to the drive.

I've tried setting up user ID and pwd in Credentials Manager, but the system won't recognize one or the other elements.
