Thanks for all the help - as usual, I didn't realize the scope of what I was trying to do.
Putting the "bad" drive into a "good" machine seems to be the easiest way to take care of it - although it's not ideal. And since the machines in question have the same hardware & disk drive size, there shouldn't be an issue from a "dd" perspective. For those who might try this in the futre: Most sites make a special point to warn you that you should wipe the "bad" drive before mounting it in the other machine. On bootup, strange things can happen if the slave drive is also bootable. --Brent --- Brent Nordick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At work we've got several machines running red hat > 7.3.
