What's wrong with your backups? :-) This is like a problem Windows already has: if you move a disk onto different hardware, more often than not you can't boot because the wrong Hardware Adaptation Layer info is in the disk's boot sector. At least you can recover the data by mounting it as a second disk. /ji --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
