Thanks Wolluf
Sorry for delay in responding. I have been offline allday. I decided to check Ontrack's web site for any help in removing the overlay. I came across instead, a trial/demo software called "Easy Recover Professional". So I tried it and it takes an awfully long time hence my time...
Thanks Wolluf and Jurgen,
