Ahhh, I remember the days... Back when I ran the BBS I ran the system on a netware 3.11 server... Two drives, SYS and VOL1... I got hold of a (Huge) 300Mb drive for VOL1, and diligently made two backups of the old 120mb VOL1 data to my Jumbo 120 date drive... And promptly re-formatted SYS so I could use it in a workstation.... Took about 12 hours to fix the damn thing :-).
Sorry, couldn't resist a 'four yorkshiremen' story..
