Hi GANG !
Well, this is about as embarrassing as it gets........
Long story short, the reason the computer would not allow me to "change"
the IDE HDD,
is because the cable was pulled out of the IDE connector on the motherboard.
No excuse.
I had installed about 5 or more drives in an attempt to answer a question,
and I guess the connection on the motherboard had finally had enough of my
fiddling, and semi-pulled out.
Moussa's VP diag disk revealed that no HDD was attached. Using my best Bruce
Willis smirk, I decided to open both blind eyes, and cast my snickering know
it all look at the actual hardware.
Let's just say, this was another in a long list of life's lessons.
Although I did find something else out because of this, which will actually
answer one of the main questions a poster had concerning this issue, I
should have known better.
Thanks for the help, and I will begin taking my dementia pills again. Or is
that anti-dementia ¿
