System Commander is on Disk 1. It lists Boot Manager as a boot option, and
from Boot Manager I can boot into eCS.

I ran dfsquery, but because I am booting DFSEE from a CD, it writes the
results to a ramdisk. I haven't figured out yet how to transfer the
results from that computer to this one. But I did read the report on
screen and noticed the following:
Disk #2. MBR is not valid. No partitions recognized.
I ran: New MBR code
and Wipe start of disk to Zero.
I then added the Windows partition to Boot Manager.
When I reboot, BM was working (I could boot into Windows). Everything else
on Drive #2 was gone.
I boot from the Installation CD, and now LVM works and I can run the
install program.
So it looks like I am back to normal.
I will try using PM to set up some HPFS partitions and restore my eCS
installation from a backup and see what happens.
Thanks for getting me past the LVM problem.
