Cut off all the dead roots. Might want to spray the remaining roots with hydrogen peroxide. Pot into a chunky orchid mix. I always like to use a clear plastic pot with good air flow. Water with lukewarm water when the roots look gray.

Exactly

this should be an easy save! lots of great healthy roots and the rot seems concentrated. snip \& sanitize

if you tend to overwater go with orchid bark — if you forget to water, go with sphag moss as it retains moisture a bit longer.
