Russ,

   I called Dell Tech Support and learned that either F2 or F12 works, but
not until the logo screen appears. I'm used to holding down the BIOS access
key while pressing the power switch. This doesn't work that way.

   Now to run fdisk manually since cfdisk won't run ("Bad primary partition 2:
partition ends in the final partial cylinder.") This is not as easy as my
Toshibas or ThinkPad.

Thanks,

Rich
