"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.
