Just to report all is now well. I have a new Seagate 160 GB hard drive. I did a default install and changed nothing. On boot I get grub stage 2 message: something I never had before, but is positive. Windows XP boots and so does Linux My only minor problem: Viewsonic VP171s LCD not detected and had to setup manually. This is a very popular monitor so should be detected. If anything else happens to my boot I shall become a gardner instead.
