lucky13, The Term command: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages didn't provide any message to the screen.
I waited about 2 minutes, then <CNTL C>
Haven't tried the partition zero yet. Will to that this afternoon after work.
Thanks again.
lkraemerPlease try the same thing in Ubuntu if you get a chance. I'm curious what it can "see" that DSL doesn't. I'm not sure the command to zero out the partition table is going to work (at least in DSL) if there's no system message at all when you insert it.

syslogd needs to be running for /var/log/messages to display anything.
