I don't remember setting it before. The replacement mobo is the same make and
model. The Award bios was reset per instructions at installation and defaulted
to 'AUTO' in the mode columnn for all drives. I can cycle it thru AUTO, LARGE,
LBA. I left it on AUTO.

If this setting is wrong would I be able to see the other three logical
partitions on the affected drive?

Peter suggested booting from floppies and trying LARGE and LBA to see if the
partitions become active. Since I'm dead anyhow I don't see any danger in
trying that. Do you?
