Though I appreciate the suggestion, I can't get any further progress once I do the

I don't think I ever suggested doing an install to hard drive....
I was suggesting you check out the disk partitions using something like parted to see
how things are set up. Did you do that?
Ed:
Oh, I did misread you and I apologize. Since I had never used a Live CD,
I jumped to the faulty conclusion that its install to hard disk was
different than the installation DVD.
PartedMagic was the one option I asked about in my original email and it
looks like that or the other two suggestions of sysresccd.org or fdisc
will keep me busy tomorrow. I don't see parted when I did a which so I
figured it was PartedMagic. I just tried as root on my working system
and see it (saved myself an email about how I have to be root see it).
As the memtest86 is going to go for a long time, I was under the
impression that the LiveCD user doesn't have "root" access to munge with
the hard drives et al ... am I mistaken?
One good thing is I finally have a Live CD image that works. Every other
time I've tried to create one it has been a horrible failure.

ps: I've been marching through another install at the same time and
multi-tasking -- even if it is the same task done twice -- is probably
not a good idea (smile?)
