My sister and niece bought me a Zygo as a gift 3 (?) years ago and helpfully repotted it into cheap heavy orchid medium. By the time they got it up to me it was very sad indeed, I can't remember if it had any live roots at all, maybe a couple of short ones. I repotted it into medium/large bark and left a couple of dead roots on it to hold it in place. It was pitiful for the first year but has recovered, I may have missed a year of blooms or it may have bloomed off season, I am not sure but I have had great flowers for the past 2 years.
I just kept it a little drier until it grew some substantial roots but was careful not to let it dessicate, I don't have good humidity but it recovered anyway. Take heart, don't give up! :-)
