Thanks to those who offered suggestions w.r.t. the RAID-5 problem. It seems that the disk that replaces the faulty one must have IDENTICAL geometry to the failed disk. I had bought a drive which was slightly larger but in the end I felt like the prince trying to get the glass slipper onto the ugly sister's foot! After spending far too much time trying to solve the problem I ended up buying 3x80GB drives, good idea Dean, (@$90.00ea !!!) and now all is well again. Yes, I did have good backups as well as the RAID-5.

Regards,
Chris Henman
