@ BenoitRen - Hi, I made the the backup straight after installing the HBC and before anything else. @ learnhacker69 - Hi, I am not sure what your suggesting but thanks anyway. Earlier cornandbeans suggested trying a disk fix which i have looked into and sounded promising but alas this was not viable...
