Put your current hard drives on ice, buy new ones, and copy to the new ones while sacrificing chickens and old monitors to $DEITY. Unless you have backups, in which case, toss the old hard drives, buy new ones, and copy to the new ones while sipping a martini. Take this with a grain of salt, of course, but honestly, I'd be worried about the hardware. -Bryan -- Bryan Richter _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
