Um, slightly bigger numbers, but the same concept applies here. I thought "Get a stonking big hard disk" and did. Now I discover that my cranky old Cyrix M2 300MHz motherboard won't recognise it. Nuts. The spare machine has an identical motherboard. Double nuts. Kind friend is sending me an Athlon 800MHz board, whcih hopefully will solve the problem. I'm planning on copying the contents of the old partitions into new ones using cp -a /olddir /mnt/newhd mounting them one by one. Then I plan to swap the drives over properly, boot off a floppy, run LILO to make the new HD bootable, and she should be done. Am I an optimist or what?
