I answered part of this in another post, but I just re-read your post and it got me thinking. I may be doing something wrong when I try to install the MBR on the new disk. I ran linux rescue with only the new drive in there (with the restored files). When linux rescue tried to mount it, it failed. But it sounds like you're suggesting I manually mount the file system? I don't think I know how to do that. Could you point me to where might have that documentation?
