Didn't I say you folks were brilliant?!
Thanks, Greg! Your hints to tinker with the drive's BIOS settings paid
off. Here's what I finally settled on that works:
LBA Mode = Enabled
32 Bit I/O = Enabled
Transfer Mode = Standard
Ultra DMA Mode = Disabled
btw, this BIOS would not let me access the SMART setting; it's enabled
with no option to disable it.
I've looked for a BIOS update and have been unable to find one; HP's web
site says that if I don't find one, there's not one available.
And to you and Joe, I'll look into replacing the BIOS battery also. Thanks!
Now, as soon as I get the system restored (which is going swimmingly -
W00t!), I'll boot into Knoppix, free up 2/3s of the drive, and then
install Etch. Swee-ee-eet!
Thanks, folks!
