1) If you do this, don't use a program like "ghost" or "partition magic" to perform the transfer from one drive to another. One user did this, and the starting sectors of the partitions ended up in places that the Empeg software didn't expect them to be. It's better to use Empeg's tools or the linux software on the Empeg to get the job done.

(ahem) I guess that user would be me, but for the record, along with altman's help I was able to recover my music partition.. Here's how I would do it if I had to do it over:

Stick the new drive in by itself; run the above mentioned software, or (i thought emplode did this as well?) the emplode upgrade to setup the partitions.

Stick the old drive in as the second drive

RWM the drives; (you might have to manually read/write mount them using the mount command - for me the second drive didn't auto-mount using the rwm command - look at the instructions for adding second drive for how to do this in detail)

copy the music directory and file id's to the new drive using

cp -v /drive1/var /drive0/var

cp -v /drive1/fids /drive0/fids

Am I missing anything? Only problem is you still need a second drive cable to do it this way. Also, you don't actually need the -v parameter, but it's helpful to make sure the empeg is actually copying.
