Steven,

I put in the 1 gig FC and it is worse or I'm not remembering the things we did.

On the Storage page of Boot Options I typed in, in this order: /A:2 /U:0 /!BM /!RMV followed by
Alt-F2 to SAVE and continue the boot.

When I enter LVM to add boot manager and create the eCS partition, the diagnostic "Disk 0 reports a
corrupt partition table" pops up. Clicking OK shows D1 with 991MB (reasonable) and two existing
partitions:
1 MB Unformatted Primary Startable
512 MB Unformatted Logical Startable
476 MB free space

The problem is when the two partitions are deleted I get the same "Disk 0 reports a corrupt
partition table" nastygram after each deletion. After the two deletions it shows 991MB free space.
BUT I can't install Boot Manager or create a partition. When I try, I get a "Operation not allowed"
nastygram.

If I exit LVM and save (with only free space) and reenter LVM I'm back to where I started - the
exact same two partitions and free space.

I tried Rewriting the MBR; no joy.

Did a copy ibms506$ con at a command line and I get the expected good news:
Controller 2 Unit 0 Status:OK LBA PIO4 BPB
Model:1024MB CKS

BTW, those two partitions are lettered C: and D: in the list when I grab the license data from the
now E: Flash Card.

Have I ever made it clear I hate computers.
