Bob,
Thanks for the tip. I've actually tried the sequence you recommend, without
success.
Barring a very lucky attempt to fdisk the drive, I'm afraid I'm pretty much
screwed. I believe the drive failed when I bailed out of a GRUB configuration
in the middle of the operation. I hope I didn't damage any of the drive's
native electronics or the resident software that's written to a small hidden
partition.
Thanks,
JL
