Great. I'll check in with you in the morning.

Glad I can help. It is the least I can do....since I am about to pass you in the garage top 10 MPG standings.

I have done this procedure a couple of times on my linux box. Luckily I had the partition data written down. I just restored the start and size parameters of the individual partitions and it all came back. In your case it is just the 1 partition. No guarantees but at least we can prove it out 'works/doesn't work' on my Mac system first.

later

P.S. The summoning of any "real" Great and Powerful Mac Gurus is welcome.
