Chuck,
The model #? The label is on your bottom of this laptop.
Without this, we're clueless...

Thanks for the helps. Talking on the phone (haven't laid eyes on the

Then had the gentleman read the available documentation (after giving an
idea of what to look for), he found a page with 'setup defaults' for the
40meg system, with an accompanying note that the disk type for the 20meg
system is type 6. Eureka!!
