Thank you for taking the time and effort (and risk!) to do that.... I feel a lot better about it. :)

Seems to have worked just fine, but I’m not about to erase my drive and try to restore it… but the files are all there. Note that the USB should be formatted with a FAT32 or similar file system.  The majority of files written on there will be hidden, so don’t worry if after 3 hours (that’s what it took) it looks like the USB is empty. It isn’t, and if you change your View (on whatever system you’re on) to display hidden files, you’ll see all the folder and files there.
