Ok then Thanx for ALL the great advice here, From what I'm getting from all your instructions here's what I'll be doing for these laptops. Mounting drives in another machine source=/dev/ad1 target=/dev/ad2 target=/dev/ad3 (I'll be mounting 2 targets at a time until all 20 or so drives are finished) Install the buffer port, then as root do; buffer -s 32k -S 1m </dev/ad1 >/dev/ad2 (for target ad2 and would I chg the 32k to 1024k for a 1meg buffer?) then; dd if=/dev/ad1 of=/dev/ad2 bs=1024k I put ad1 on primary ide channel and ad2 &3 on sec ide channel. I hit 'ctrl-t' to get info on dd progress and I can do in separate term systat -vmstat 1 and I look at the bottom section for me to see the transfer speeds. Again I'm just confirming your instructions to see if I got it right .. Thanx again. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!
