Okay, I thought I would give it a try anyway and it doesn't seem to
work....

Like I mentioned above, this is the first time I have ever done a
restore.

When the process starts, what should I be looking for to know it's
working?

The message "Loading Kernel" stays on the screen and I only see the
DISK light flash a few times at the start......

I left it for about 15 minutes and nothing changed.....is that what is
supposed to happen?  Or should some things to happening on the LCD
screen?

It's a RaQ4r with 512MB Ram and 2 x 40GB drives......how long should I
wait before I think it's failed????

Thanks!
