Too late - bought a My Book from WD. (Strange that a My Book was $40 
cheaper than a bare drive.)

See email to Michael about what happens when I try to mount the 
partition.  Since /dev/sdb seems corrupted, I might reformat it to store 
/dev/sdc3 which I can get - only takes a day to dd.

Regards,

George Toft
