I thought that the point of disabling hdb in bios 
(as I believe was done yesterday) was to achieve the 
suggest, above, to "try removing hdb ..." 

But if I'm remembering what happened correctly (and I may not be), 
the result was that both drives seemed to "disappear" ... 

Now, I tend to think that this whole ordeal could be and perhaps 
should be titled: "The great LILO boot-loader disappearance mystery."
