Hi I sent this last night and it hasn't appeared so I am resending sorry if it is a duplicate. Hi all, Thanks for all the help on my hard drive problems. The shop that built it replaced the hard drive and mother board because it misidentifyed the new drive too. When I did my restore from cpio I had a few strange things happen. First It had some failures with shutdown. I think this was caused because I just did a minimal install since it was an easy way to format the disk and install Lilo therefore the old systems files would have had scripts to shutdown things that hadn't started. I got Ll on reboot. Did an upgrade to reinstall Lilo this worked great. (anybody know why I needed this step?) Finally the weirdest my restore put /home partition files in /usr/local/lib partition and /usr/local/lib in /home I copied them back and everything seems to be fine but was wondering why and if there is a better way when I have to do this next time?
