[cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] replacing the hard drive

[Theo Jones <space_biscuit@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,

I'm using "Port 1" as described in the Restore CD instructs.  That's equivalent to eth0 I'm 
pretty sure.  It doesn't seem like it would be the port however that's the problem,
as the whole Restore process goes along fine through the ethernet cable until I start getting
the hdd message...

I may crack the case today, take the drive out and try to do some diagnostics on it while plugged
into a different machine.  Somebody told me that Quantum (I have the quantum fireball 20G drive)
has some kind of testing tool on their website.
