>Okay, I've enabled the drive now, how do I approach this? >I want the drive that's receiving the data copy to be encrypted, and Encrypted? Man, you're getting too complicated for the situation. Priorities. Task 1 is to copy over the borked drive to a USB drive so you have a stable "go back to" point. Task 2 is to have a second drive to experiment on, safe in the knowledge that you can always restore from the copy from task 1. Encryption just makes it more likely you'll bork things again. >it'll have to be over ssh, so I'm assuming some combination of DD and >SCP? SSH and SCP? Say what? How bout a USB3 rotating drive?

If you care about those old photos, spend the money for enough USB hard drives, and don't get fancy until you have a copy of your files AND a backup of the copy of those files. Then you can treat the copy like a backup and copy them back. Seriously, priorities. Prioritize getting those files back, and don't let anything complicate that task. Don't skip steps.
