Actually I managed to copy everything over ok but couldn't work out how to get it to boot of the scsi drive. When I did eventually get it to boot it kept coming up with the sysinstall program. I ended up doing a basic install on the scsi and then copying everything over again and rebuilding the kernel. Not pretty but functional :-) thanks for the reply though Andrew Perry > On Fri, 17 Oct 1997, Andrew wrote: > > > does anyone have any instructions for swapping from an ide hard drive to a > > scsi drive?
