Don't forget to ZAP the PRAM too. You can hit the reset button on the
motherboard (easiest), or do the Command-Option-P-R on startup until it
restarts. Supposed to do this whenever you change the battery or add/remove
an internal drive/card etc.
You will then need to reset your general controls panel, mouse and colors
panel, maybe a couple of others too when you are up and running again.
