Well, what that DID it! Thank you.

It never occurred to me to simply ignore the hard disk not found error, and just proceed with the upgrade (I used Beta11).

Any idea why the primary interface probe lists the Toshiba six times? Could this be indicative of a problem, just on the edge of not working...?

Note to FAQ/empeg folks: It would appear that some (only this model?) hard disks might appear to not work after disk builder alone. Proceeding to the upgrade process _anyway_ worked in my case.

Serial Log of Toshiba MK3017GAP as working single master is below..

Toshiba as master, OEM Fujitsu as slave also works!
