[Karen Palen]

I hope to find out for sure and try it in the next couple of days - provided I don't screw things up yet again.

That is what comes of having 3 versions of Linux and 2 Windows versions all in a multi-boot situation and separate HDDs. ONE of them being PATA and two SATA drives. Even *I* gor confused about which was which :-(
