I was actually a little further along than that -- I got as far as copying the 
entire contents of that one partition to another drive.  But it would't boot.  
So at that point I thought that perhaps trying an fdisk /mbr or similar would 
do the trick.  Then I started running into problems with floppies,  and similar 
nonsense.  Eventually it just got to the point where I decided that I didn't 
need those diagnostics that badly,  and I proceeded from there to a linux 
install that's mostly complete.

I just need to actually mount the HD after removing the original one,  see what 
ram I have to add some more if possible,  and finish up on the software side,  
like installing firefox and doing whatever other tweaks I need to do in config 
files.

Dunno why HP's ISO is as big as 159MB!
