This kind of stuff really raises the hairs on the back of my neck! LOL Trying to convert your ONLY copy of the data is, at best, dangerous. Backup, then backup. Did I say BACKUP?! I see a number of old articles in a cursory Google search, but a script called Raider looks interesting: http://raider.sourceforge.net Info is sparse, but looks to automate the processes of the other articles I read. Maybe it would work. Have no idea if it takes care of swap partition or grub. I haven't looked at the script. Michael, of course, is the guru here, and I will always defer to him. ;-) Take it for what it's worth… Jeff _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
