From a reply to one of your earlier messages (I am catching up):

Try this Mike. Since you seem to be running on a live CD, you probably will not have the enter a password for the sudo. But enter the following commands

cd ~/Desktop
sudo lshw -short -C storage > lshw.txt
sudo lshw -short -C disk >> lshw.txt
sudo lshw -short -C volume >> lshw.txt

and tell us what results you get (they will be in the file lshw.txt which will be on your desktop). If you need to move them to another machine for emailing, plug in a flash drive and copy the file to it.

I just found out about the command 'lshw' and I wanted to know if it sees
my hard drive. Unfortunately, I can not see it all..... the text scrolls
off of the screen. What is an option to make it pause after a screen of
text is written? I tried '-a' to '-z' but none of them worked.

Please protect my address like I protect yours. When sending messages to multiple recipients, always use the BCC: (Blind carbon copy) and not To: or CC:. Also remove all of the addresses from the message body before forwarding the message. These simple measures prevent spy programs from capturing the addresses shown in the recipient list and the message body.
