Frustrated Mark:

The partition you need to correct is partition 1 of the drive described 
above (I don't know where it is now but it used to be your slave drive 
with Mac Os X installed on partition 9 ? I think ("Maxtor-14.5") or 
maybe partition 10.  I can't tell from this output.

Run the *new* pdisk under YDL and change *only* the partition type of 
the partition 1 from "Apple_Bootstrap" to "Apple_Partition_map".  Do 
this by following Dan's instructions as posted on the YDL website.  
This will make your Mac Os X partition bootable.

Good Luck,
Bruce
