Lonnie You do have a point here, I did try a 2nd hd on the laptop, it worked as it should, it was a small drive. The original will not boot, but fdisk can read the partition. grub will start then hang. Can not put this drive in to older laptop as it has a 1 g limit. I would like to test it on a machine that could boot it up. I just have no means to perform this. Any other suggestions here is appreciated, I do not want to buy any thing I do not have to. It is a 12 g hard drive, Fitsitu I beleive.
