I re-connected the #3hd and again autoplay worked.
I went into Disk Management via Admin Account
and was successful in changing the partition.

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression of autoplay, I like it
that's what I mean when I say back to'normal'. If we
could somehow get the backspace key back it would be
perfect.
In passing, just what am I loosing by not having it not Genuine?
since they already stopped supporting it and I have every update
since. We have the original 1TB, #3hd is cloned exactly like this
(the one that we just changed the partition) and #4 is in the 8500
and all are operational.
If you agree, I think at this point it's a good idea to create a
System Restore Point and do Mrimgs for both computers so
we don't loose all the hard work we've done and gives us a way to
recover. So I will make a System Restore now and then start the
Mrimgs.
I thought Patriot stick were OK to use?
Hmmmmmmmm the TestDisk sounds impressive but that's
really getting into the nitty gritty with the step by step.
