Re: final thread on this hard drive mess!
I'm going to take a guess that the CD drive and the dead HD are connected to the same built-in controller on the motherboard. The controller is lighting the LED to let you know that disk access is occurring. It's not picky about which device is being accessed.

Re: hdd ide to sata; which way to go
betty nicepeng...@webcanine.com wrote: This is the last forum for my research on this project, everyone's advice here has always been most helpful. Although i haven't needed too much advice lately (since linux is sooo stable !) I have an old pentium 3 with ide hdd that i have been using for many years. It is a little slow (to say the least) especially running multiple apps. I was just given a dell optiplex mini form factor w/pentium 4 and sata drive connectors. (*no hdd*). It looks like there are two options here; i can get ide to sata connectors and use my old drive so nothing really changes and it seems easy, however the hdd is old (maybe 10 years) so i risk eventual hardware failure. or i can get a sata drive and copy everything to it. seems best way to me. not that much more expensive. will last longer etc. question: if i go for option two, is there a way to copy (like mirror) my old drive stuff to the new one so it works and looks the same to me???, if so how do i do that? (the old computer does not have a working cdrw) or do i need to do a new install and copy my files over :( thanks for your patience and help in advance. -- betty i. www.webcanine.com information for people who care for dogs. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss I actually had to something similar a while back to replace a hard drive. I used dd to copy the data from the first disk to the second disk like so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k I then removed what had been sda (it was in the process of dying) and moved the other drive so that it became sda. Of course, you're free to put the disks wherever you want, just don't get the source and destination confused. I then booted off a live CD and used it to reinstall grub using the instructions presented here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 as a guide.

OT: Hardware free to good, bad, or indifferent home
Found a smoking deal on some hardware, didn't realize how literal that was. I have a generic midtower case, with 380W power supply, a ViewSonic A90f 17 inch CRT monitor, a generic USB optical mouse, and a 104 key PS2 Kensington keyboard to give away. All items were in working order as of last week. These came from a smoker's home, as I found out too late. Unless you're a smoker or really love scrubbing things clean, I don't recommend grabbing these items. Also, the previous owner had fetish for writing his name on things with permanent marker. This is in Chandler, near Pecos and McQueen.

Re: How to remove a bond interface via command line
Haven't tried to get out of one, but getting into a bonded interface is pretty easy. so getting out shouldn't be that hard. For a redhat alike system, cd to /etc/sysconfig/network scripts, move ifcfg-bond0 to something like bond0-broken. Figure out which interface you want to use, move the current ifcfg-eth? file off to something like eth?-bond0-broken. Cat the old bond0-broken (or whatever you called it) to get the IP address, netmask, etc. Cat the old ineterface file to get the MAC adress for the interface you want to use. You'll recognize it by all the colons. Create a new ifcfg-ethnumber, drop the above mentioned lines into it, as well the lines for DEVICE and ONBOOT. You don't want SLAVE in here. Set BOOTPROTO for whatever you before. It will probably look something like this: # cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:03:08:99:43:E1 IPADDR=10.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static Of course that's from memory, so trust what's actually on your screen over my example. Run service network restart and you should be good. Now if it's debian, you may have to wait for morning, as I don't look after enough of those for this to have ever come up.

Two or more ethernet interfaces bonded together to act as a single interface. Can be used for bandwidth aggregation, or to have multiple network paths for failover between interfaces.
