Will check. Is the Adaptec 29160N good? I found it for $134, which seems
reasonable.

Maybe the SDT-9000? It seems to have 12G/24G, which should be plenty big
enough, and costs $359 at componentsdirect.com

OK, I created the partitions according to Bootit NG's information. I was able
to mount normally from my rescue CD, and everything was there. However, when
I booted normally (i.e. from the hard disk), the partition was no longer
there, and I had to reenter everything into fdisk again, and there again was
my data. What's next?

P.S. Bootit NG is sort of a ParitionMagic/BootMagic type program that's a lot
more powerful, about half the price, and a hell of a lot more reliable. I've
lost countless partitions (Winders luckily) to Partition Magic over the years,
but Bootit continues to amaze me.
