Offered to take it home and try a few more things--there was someone waiting--but she said her partner might not like that and she'll come back next week and in the meantime I'll do some research, suggestions welcome.
No shade on Ann but it did remind me of the time a teacher at the school where I used to work asked if I could get stuff off of a thumb drive he always wore around his neck on a lanyard. Later he lost his job b/c of some not-appropriate pictures he had on there. Happy I failed!

@jessamyn@glammr.us It's a joy to read about you helping people like this. I'd like to recommend the SystemRescueCD for any thumb drive or other disc-related work; you can burn it to a CD/DVD, or write it to a USB drive, and then reboot your system to run temporarily from the CD/thumb drive.
Caveat, it is a Linux system, with a welter of tools for fixing your system and investigating filesystem issues. If you are already a Linux user or have time to read up on it, it is perfect.
