The Fine Art of Making a Bootable Drive; more

I am the one who posted stating that I can't seem to make a bootable new hard drive for my Linux Squeeze system. It's been quoted, "It ain't what you don't know that will hurt you, but what you know that just ain't so." I think I am in that territory now. What I have been doing was to format the ne
