Well, thanks to all the people who gave me advice on installing our new drive. I received several RTFM comments, but those people were kind enough to point out which FM's to look at. Maxtor included a wealth of information with the drive, so I could make sure everything was configured properly. I strained my brain trying to figure out how to copy all the files over. First I just tried dragging everything into the new disk's icon. That resulted in everything on the new disk belonging to root. Then I figured out tar well enough to get it to copy almost everything (except for a few things with long filenames, which I copied manually). Then I changed the SCSI address to 0, powered on, and everything is working beautifully. So, thanks again for all the advice. -- Alex Dommasch, Programmer |-- Field-Flow Fractionation Research Center |- Department of Chemistry, University of Utah V Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 |->|..
