Hi there Peter :)

Could you please give me some advices on using the null modem cable on
my qube3? It's the first time I do such a procedure and I really really
don't want to mess up with my data!! 

How can I bypass the 'checking disk..*' part.. Or how do I get my disks
back up without loosing any data or being forced to restore the OS once
again?

1. How do I setup my terminal to connect the qube3 through serial cable?
2. What commands do I use to get the disk back?

Thanks for your help!! 

Cheers, 

Andreas Cahen
