Ok and thanks again Steven I will try and send the image to another server and see if that will work.
But also, each time I tried to start with the new, imaged drive, I always had the original disks disconnected so the two sets of LVM's were never visible at the same time. But hey, I have been trying now for 2 weeks so one more method certainly cant hurt and who knows? Maybe this will be the one!
