That wasn't the problem. I had formatted all the drives as Linux Raid auto but when I replaced the drive it ws formated as linux. Consequently the drive would not boot into the raid. It has taken me two week to figure this out...my raid is now perfect, I have five 160 GB drives, three for data, one parity and one spare giving a 450 GB raid partition. Additionally there is one 80 GB OS disk and a 300 GB music disk. It's pretty heavy! Chris Mason masonc@xxxxxxxxxx Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies Tel.
