I would suggest disconnecting the second drive and then try loading the box. It has been quite a while, but I seem to recall having that same battle many months ago. Best I remember things were confused when both drives were in place. Might be worth moving everything over the network to another box for another backup.
What I don't know is what to do to be able to mount and retrieve the material off of the old drive. Mounting the entire volume (best I remember) turned out to be something of a problem. Any thoughts?

Everything is good. Two copies of the install, all is well. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
