I'm now on the T30 laptop that couldn't even see my disks
yesterday -- running F9.
Woo HOO!
The secret, with heartfelt thanks to Rick Stevens, seems to have
been one little detail I barely thought to mention. If you're using a USB
external DVD drive, make sure at every step that it's plugged directly
into the machine it's currently working with, not through any sort of
hub, switch, or what have you.
I had VERY little to do with it, but you're welcome. :-)
Heeding that, I burned a fresh copy of the gwget download (which
had passed all sha1sum tests); moved the drive to the laptop; and
rebooted (making sure, of course, it was what the laptop would boot from).
The same drive, containing the same disk, is now plugged into the
oldest PC (the ASUS) -- and is happily upgrading that.
Well done, kemosabe! Glad you got it going.
