I mogth get one just to get the Acronis True Image. Anyway it looks like you were right about the LBA. I again wiped the drive removed all partitions and formatting and stuck it in the laptop. It booted with the WINXP cd and partitioned, formatted and imstalled WInXp. Would have rather avoided the re-install but "dems da brakes". At least it works and reads the drive at full capacity of about 57 gb. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Next upgrading the ram but that's another thread.
