- Well, thanks to all the people who gave me advice on installing our new drive.
- I received several RTFM comments, but those people were kind enough to point
- out which FM's to look at. Maxtor included a wealth of information with the
- drive, so I could make sure everything was configured properly.
-
- I strained my brain trying to figure out how to copy all the files over. First
- I just tried dragging everything into the new disk's icon. That resulted in
- everything on the new disk belonging to root. Then I figured out tar well
- enough to get it to copy almost everything (except for a few things with long
- filenames, which I copied manually). Then I changed the SCSI address to 0,
- powered on, and everything is working beautifully.
-
- So, thanks again for all the advice.
