I haven't played with this stuff in quite a while, but since you're desperate, you may be willing to experiment. For starters, what happens if you just try to move the drive over and mount it up? Does it even mount? Don't try to boot off it yet - just mount it as a data disk for now. Worst case, boot off a recovery CD and then mount the hard drive that way if you don't have another bootable Linux system that you can put this drive in. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
