Are you sure that the FAT was mangled, and not just the MBR?
How can I tell?
All I know is the following: a) The WinXP PC had a virus or something making it slow b) So I decided to re-install the WinXP OS c) I connected the 150GB USB drive to the WinXP PC d) I backed up all the data files onto the 150GB USB drive
<snip> I'm afraid that's where you lost it - I'd strongly suspect that the virus has some kind of self-protection to avoid being studied, and that's when it hit the USB drive.
