Thanks for all the suggested solutions to my problem.  
It turns out that I had a bad hard drive.  Still, I did try 
all of the solutions while waiting for my new drive :-).  

One item that seems to be important, but did not arise in any of
the replies I received, is the status of the hard drive lamp.  IT
seems that a dimly lit (flashing) lamp indicates a different 
problem than a lamp that remains brightly lit (This according to 
Microbotics).  Hope this little addition to the knowledge base
may help someone else.
