When you say Media Refresh do you mean eCS 1.2R? That is the only other
bootable
eCS 1.2 that I have.

With DFSEE I can access the hard disk and make partitions. However doing so
does not enable my eCS 1.2 CD installation to recognize the existence of
that
hard drive.

The BIOS does recognize the hard drive. Here is what it displays:
Primary IDE Master [LITE-ON CD-RW SOHR]
Primary IDE slave (not detected)
Third IDE Master [WDC WD800JO-00CSA0]

I do not think so. I get these error messages whenever the boot sequence

You probably can tell that I am confused, which is true, but I am learning
