Above is BEFORE running lvm /newmbr:1

Here, for sake of clarity, are reports AFTER running lvm /newmbr:1

What should I do now to determine what is wrong. One correspondent
suggested adjusting the cylinder boundary, offering I could do it with
DFSEE. If this would help (or just to do it for good practice) I'd
be willing to educate myself if I can get directions how to do it
non-descructively, how to back out (if possible) and warnings of all
gotchas.
