I am not being paid for this. I should be getting credit for it, but ATM I'm not, that's a long story, but don't worry about that. The thing is, I really only have a max of 1.5 hours daily on it. I'm also doing other menial tasks during that time, such as making CAT5e :/
Reformatting is my last choice because it's not very satisfying. Perhaps a backup and reformat may be the only option in the end, but for the sake of my own education, for the sake of the people who I'm doing this for, and for the sake of good problem-solving, I want to explore other options at first.
It really isn't my judgement call as to how much the stuff on their is worth. With the bizarre state it is in, I can't even begin to analyze things (OK, i could dir around via DOS...). If the person who submitted this for repair begins to show doubt or becomes fussy over it, I'll just say "You have two options - you let me take my time and use a good solution, or we just wipe everything".
