    The error message I am getting says that it isn't reading the
drive. I may have not configured the drive correctly when I installed
it. I think my current Debian installation pre-dates this particular
drive. That may be why it's calling it a cdrom. Maybe I should just go
for a clean install again. There are files and stuff that I will want
to back up before doing anything that extreme. This isn't the smoothest
install I've dealt with anyway. I wish I had a couple of extra
comparable hard drives to play with so it would make it a risk-free
deal. There are some other things I'd like to do differently if I do a
reinstall... ...well, I won't do anything tonight. Must sleep. Sleep
good.
