Oddly enough, it is currently reporting 6Gb, which is the size of the
disk I took out.

It correctly clocks the disk in /dev/hda as 60Gb without issue.  I'm
wondering if there is some quirky compaq disk tools I need to run ...

All quite odd...

Both cracking ideas (to try tomorrow).

Thank you.  Very much appreciated.
