Thanks, Bill. good suggestion. I went to bed last night instead. This
morning I tried the Knoppix and still no drive. So I did what I did
one time this happened, I openned the case and pulled the drive. The
cables were slightly ajar, maybe happened when I removed the drive, but
I put them back on and reinstalled the drive in the box. Booted. The
drive is back.
Linux is great, but sometimes even it can;t get through cables that come
off.
I did chase the gremlin out of the box, I hope.
