Hi gold-finger,
Been away for a day but just got back and ran with your latest suggestions.
Results as follows:-
sudo parted --list
linux@linux:~$ inxi -Fxz
Just as an aside, when I'd finished the above a thought occurred and i ran the install for a Mint distro I had on DVD. It ran no problem right up to the last screen - at which point I closed it down. Might that not point to an issue with the LL iso rather than hardware? Dunno, but I just mention it.
