Well, it may not be without corruption; it was, apparently, taken after the OCZ drive began failing, but before the failures became evident. That said, I think starting over with the restored, new, hopefully reliable, SSD is better than continuing to work with the (rather questionable) OCZ disk. I'll restore the backup to the new Samsung drive, install the new drive, and then see if I can run sfc /scannow, etc. successfully. If not, I'll first try on my own to fix things, and if needed, come back to you for further help.
That's it, for now. I'll update you with progress on installing the Samsung SSD, which will be my next post either from this computer (JoeGinch) or my laptop (Oscar III). Till then; thanks for all you folks do; it's awesome!
