I finally found enough of a round tuit to burn the cd and try it.
Seatools found and tested all 3 drives, no hits no runs no errors.
But I am now smarter on two fronts.
1. DON"T leave your cell phone plugged in when rebooting, you get drive C
has no boot capability messages from the bios, while I am shaking my
head and muttering that famous 3 letter acronym.
So I wasted several hours letting it go thru one cycle of memtest, then
doing a bios reset & re-putz with some on the options before in dawned
on me my tracfone is still plugged in AND a POS. Turned off, it still
shows up as a 50 megabyte removeable disk! Unforgivable idiocy.
2. that solved & rebooted, with one of the 2T's in the sdb slot, gparted
said it had NO partition table! So I expect the 2nd one has no partition
table on it either. So I partitioned and labeled it half & half as /home
and /opt. Reboot, lshw and blkid are now happy as clams.
So, progress from the WV version of Lake Woebegone. :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett
