Those @#$!& extended partitions! It's really time for me to get rid of that kind of programming style. I tried it out on another machine where I had a free primary partition. Hoolay--it boots! Moving partitions around on the machine described above will take some time but I will try it in any case and I will report. Thanks a lot for your patience when I became fretful.
