Hello Paul, Thank you for the response - I will give it a try. My issue also seems to include a PRAM battery going out. Would this make the unit "forget" that there was an HD and OS in place? I can boot up, but if the unit goes to sleep, it is gone: I have to force reboot, usually to an OS question mark, reboot again to force recognition of the HD. PRAM battery? OR....?
