The easiest way to do this is to move the disk partitions (the DOS one
and the Netware one) to the new disk with "Norton Ghost for Netware"
www.ghost4nw.com addjust the startup.ncf so that it contains the correct
diskdrivers. 

Check and make sure that the server starts up in the right way.

Now do the upgrade to NW5

Make sure to make a backup before this operation :-)
