That worked.  Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that I tried something close to that.  If this is 
interesting, I'll try to figure out what does/doesn't work.  If not, I won't 
waste any time.

Not after you have cleaned out the junk that came on it  :)

It came with 4 partitions, with at least a few that I didn't recognize.  I 
wasn't expecting troubles like this so I didn't preserve the old settings 
when I made 1 big partiton.
