Thanks to Brian Sullivan for his suggestion. I finally figured out that, magically, 5.4 GB on the drive was unallocated. After I initiated and formatted the unallocated portion, I merged the two partitions; problem solved. There is a life lesson here. I wasted two days on a $17 drive. Again, thanks to Brian Sullivan for his response.
