I thought so too. I tried setting it, but I couldn't get it to boot. I guess the drive *could* be damaged, but I just pulled it out of a Windows box where it was working fine. It still has XP on it. Would that make a difference? I never reformatted it after I pulled it out. > Once you have that drive in there, you could create the file system > structure on it however you want, but place the / and /boot > partitions below 500 MB so that the system will boot when you take > out the old drive. Do you mean make the / and /boot partitions *less* then 500 MB or *below*. If you mean below, I'm not sure how to do that. > Note that you will have to tell fdisk the correct geometry of the > disk.

When you say "dump + restore" you mean do a level 0 dump and then a restore? Is that correct? ...........................................
