The Seagate linux version only tests SCSI drives. I ended up taking it off
and testing it on a Windows system which found the drive to be defective. I
have a spare 40 Gig hard drive laying around which I'm thinking to try to
install on the Raq3i which I'm going to convert to a Raq550. What I'm
wondering is do I need to do anything for the Restore CD to use this 40 gig
hard drive instead of the original Cobalt Hard Drives which come in 15 to 20
Gig?

Thanks,

SW
