And how can one confirm that? hda is an older 8-gig drive, but it is the one that is now booting and it apparently has the MBR on it. hdb is a fairly new 80-gig drive, and we can still read all the data on it by booting with a Knoppix live CD. Do you think I could install a Linux system on hda and then restore lilo in the MBR on it and thereby access both drives? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
