Re: [cobalt-users] Raq550 recovery HELP !!

Bob,

1) You cannot put a used Hard drive in a Raq550 without cleaning it
first.  Before you can put another hard drive in a Raq550 that uses
Raid, the new hard drive must be FDISK-ed to delete all the partitions
and then completely re-FORMAT to remove any data, then remove the
partition with FDISK.  This is like a NEW hard drive that has nothing on
it.  The RAQ550 will create the partitions and add the data.  NOTE:
FDISK alone does not work because the data is there.  I have to reformat
the whole drive as one partition (win98) then remove the partition
before installing.

2) You can use a Linux Based PC and mount the partitions.  Remember that
there are 4 partitions on the Raq550 Hard Drive.
