Thanks for you comments and advise.
The new HD I used for backup was virgin so to speak, but does contain about now 50% of the music that the drive that failed, thus a combination of that content + from a previous back up drive which had about 85% of my music should hopefully yield at least 90% hopefully a little more.
I did take the faulty drive to company that do data retrieval and the cost would have been about 1200$ with no guarantee that all the files
could be saved thus decided against it.
I am using a program called "Path too long pro" to combine what is on the new hard drive and a previous back up.
I believe there is also a ways of checking what music is missing

So it will take a day or so to know exactly where I am.

I will also do a further back up so I will have 3 of them, better safe than sorry.
But the fact remain that PC audio can be stressful, but I suppose that the benefits are also obvious.
I am using a very simple system, with just a laptop only used for music, a Devialet amp that contains a marvellous DAC, and a pair of loudspeakers, so more simple is impossible.
