RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ4R - RAID Drive Failure

["Greg O'Lone" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a problem similar to this a few months ago, I'd suggest at least
deleting the partitions on the new drive. We somehow managed to get the
drive to boot from the new drive, and it was rather confusing for a
while because it was from another RaQ.
