Yes the dd copy was made from the Rescue cd and both hard drives
were running but not in use.
Hi Les, I have been looking with the Rescue cd and found one funny
thing. I didn't mount the /dev/sda5 Linux and ran fsck and it complained
it could not find /etc/fstab/ so I wonder if there is a problem there.
Just saw this and it seems odd.
I need to find out more about label since it has been a problem.
