Hi again Kyle,
partitions on x86 hardware go like the following...
partition1 = primary = sda1
partition2 = primary = sda2
partition3 = primary = sda3
partition4 = primary = sda4
partition5 = extended = sda5 (living inside of one of the primary
partitions)
partition6 = extended = sda6

I have thrice now wiped the entire disk and re-installed, including physically

would've expected the re-installs to deal with that.
But happy to give this a go tonight when I get home.

Just thinking about it. I thought IDE HDD's were always recognised as
/dev/hdx. But liveCD (in fact any boot program I use) is recognising this one
as /dev/sda.
What's going on there?
I'll give that go too Jake, ta. Too late to save setup and settings.
