anyway, it didn't work during boot.  I even opened the case and rearranged a few
cables but to no good.  The system does not detect it in any way.  I'll get it
to some technician tomorrow to see what`s wrong and perhaps buy another drive.

Or should I go for a really large thumbdrive and boot from there. ;)

really, I could just make a few partitions in it as ext3 and get a far cheaper
drive.  I'm just concerned with the life extent of such a setup... perhaps it's
cheaper to just buy a conventional HD in the long run...

  It's an X shortcut, not a bootloader shortcut.

why would I need an X shortcut for my kind of problem?

It is possible, good luck ;).

At least easier. And you can keep a HD inside the case.

  The tip was not for your problem but for Alain's.
