OK - So I just sold my Empeg (for the least price gotten yet by an empeg - only $865 for a 6gb unit:( ) and i need to get my music off this thing.

Here's the monkey wrench. My empeg currently has 2 10gb drives in it, and I have a laptop with a 6gb drive. Here's what I wanna do:

• transfer contents from one 10gb drive to a backup storage drive [1]


• transfer contents from 6gb notebook drive to above 10gb drive


• Re-format the 6gb drive to be used in the empeg [2]

So for [1], I was planning on copying the entire hard drive from the linux partition on the empeg TO A FAT32 partition - do you see any problems with this? Will any information be lost going from ext2 to fat32? As far as I could see, the file names for the music partition are all less then 8 characters, am I mislead?

For [2], I think the fastest way is to get the special image file to initialize these drives, does anyone have this they could send me? (mrahm[at]mse.ufl.edu)

Comments? Is there anything wrong with my plan?
