Update: Re: [cobalt-users] Re: Qube checking disk

[Jerry Ellis <admin@xxxxxxxx>]

For anyone who is interested I stuck the HDD into another Qube2 I had and 
it booted up. I haven't taken the time to figure out why yet as the 
customer was down and I was anxious to get them up and running again but it 
would appear to have not been the HDD that was broken but something else. 
If anyone is interested I can post my findings.
