Can you give me instructions on how to do these? I'm
not as comfortable with LVM as I was with FDISK.

OTOH, I called Jerry R. and he will loan me a spare
drive along with a copy of eCS 1.1 in "demo" mode and
I'll try that to see if it really is the drive or
something else. If that don't work then I'll come to
NOCCC on June 1.
