"I'm desperate.  IBM wants to reformat my hard disk to see if that
eliminates the problem---some solution!  Any suggestions, alternate
theories, etc?  Thanks a million in advance."

I thought that only one primary partition could exist on a disk. If this
is true, it is hardly a bug that software blows up if you misformat
the disk. Sounds to me like IBM's solution is the reasonable one, though
perhaps someone on the list can provide a workaround.
