OK, fiddling with it some more, I re-partitioned the messed up partition (nothing on it anyway) and tried to install the CD-ROM drivers which was the objective from the beginning.
Doubleclicking the installer on the CD and it gives me the message only 800k memory avail, increase to 800k. Launching a copy of the installer S/W from the OS partition (or others) yields the same message except "0" memory is avail. It looks like there is some sort of write access problem ???? BTW, the CD-ROM works fine with the old dieing HD (driver installed of course). Any help would be appreciated! ...(The 6Gb HD is still looking possessed!)
