If you have any ide connections left, place the new hard drive as whatever you have available (ie, hdd, maybe?). If not, is there a CDROM or CDRW drive that you can temporarily disconnect?

[expert] CD-RW as backup!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello! In the past I used to take those CD-RW and make backups on them just mounting them and then using taz (and gzip) but, now with mdk8.1 I can't!! I can use the CD-writer normally! At /dev/sg! How can I use the CD-writer for this? In the past it looked like a *big* floppy for zip-disquete! It was a HP8100i (RIP) ;-( Now I would like to do the same on a CD-writer creative! (remember it's working ok with cdrecord!)! Can I put a *second* entry on fstab to use and write my cd-writer!

Are you using the same e-mail (the one you've registered with) to run seti? As I said, this is where the problem is. That's why I mentioned 'register' (set an account up), because that's exactly what happened to me! I just started it all over from the beginning! You should run it as a normal user! Have you installed the software on your Home directory? Well, I'm sure not going to install it as root. You'd amazed how many friends I have that run seti@home as root! Never hurts to say!
