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.

In "MBR and EBR operations, both are Disk2.

Having done nothing in between?

Nothing was recorded.

The FTP facility is not available, because I have not had time to deao with it since the hosting service disabled it after telling me that it had been invaded. Is there somewhere else I can upload for the List (when I have something to upload)?
