Thanks for the feedback, however, I now have a new problem. I rebooted the server my TOR Node lives on and I've got a non-system disk error so I think my partition table got corrupted.
If I can access the file system, is there any way to get what I need of the drive to retain my fingerprint?

You want to rescue the files in the "keys" directory in your DataDirectory. More details here: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq#UpgradeOrMove
For example, on Debian or Ubuntu, you'll find them in /var/lib/tor/keys/
If the key files are gone, that fingerprint is gone from the world, and it's time to start a fresh one. :)
