Buy a new desktop machine with a 60GB IDE drive. They're cheap, and all you need is the space to do the recovery.
I bought a machine for my daughter in early December that would be able to act as a restore test machine for any of our servers for less than $500. It doesn't have to be a server class machine for recovery testing. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
