While awaiting a reply, I booted to DFSee to try to find anything that seemed out of the ordinary. I found that DFSee says that "MBR boot code unknown to DFSee" (it should be generic). So I thought to take a shot at making new MBR code. When it came to choosing which HD, DFSee reported that the sole disk present as "1 Disk2 ....". Before any of this mess happened, I reported to Jan that, depending where in DFSee one looked, the HD numbers were interchanged, or they were both labeled Disk2. He didn't know what to make of this.
