How about a friend or neighbor if you should not be doing this type of thing
at the office?

Or your local friendly computer store, such as Microcenter, or even our
local library computer help.

Good stuff!

I got my QDATA files! The base one as well as QDATA1-QDATA5.QDF

When I started this (windows) computer (at work) with my drive hooked
up, it did some lengthy scanning and repairing process. I'm thinking
possibly I can pop it back in my old computer and it will boot up?

In the meantime I got greedy and tried running qw.exe and qhi.exe.

qw.exe looked like quicken was starting but it ultimately just hung
there...

Qdata files (plural!!!!!!!!) are the latest incarnation of the data.
Qdata1-5 are separate sets of automatic backups. Remember that you
really need all the qdata files, qdf, qph etc for each set.

I would not bet on it, but it may be worthwhile trying. However, given
what you say below ...

Wow, did not see that one coming.

I put the drive back in my PC -- and it boots up and Quicken opens!

At this point transferring the data "by hand" is a pleasure!

Not only that but it is some added bonus that I have a functional,
albeit barely, Windows PC.

I cannot thank you all enough for your kindness and patience -- that
turned out much much better than I ever would have anticipated!

THANKS!
