Thanks guys,

In case you're wondering, here's what I ended up doing so far:

• Install linux on second home computer


• Install Empeg's first drive on second ide channel using adapter


• Install FTP server on my Windows 2000 box


• mount /dev/hdc4 /mnt/temp


• copy /mnt/temp/fids/* to windows 2000 box


• Transfer failed with files bigger then 100mb; is this a windows 2000 ftp limitation? Repeatedly, files over 100mb would fail and kill the ftp process...


• Install ftpd-BSD on linux box


• Transfer from Linux box to W2000 box (10GB drive, full, took less then an hour)

...So this is where I stand now, and right now my hold-up is that I need more space to copy the second drive... Here's the additional steps I'll have to take:

• Borrow hdd from work temporarily


• set it up as the primary-slave on linux box


• Setup the empeg's other drive on secondary/master on linux box


• mount partitions, copy fids from the second drive to the temporary drive


• Setup my notebook's 6gb drive as primary/master in desktop


• setup one of the now-backed-up drives from the empeg s the secondary/master


• Use Symantec's GHOST to duplicate the 6gb drive onto the 10gb drive


• Re-setup the empeg with the 6gb and the 10gb drive


• Initialize the empeg w/ the special init/formatter


• Re-load latest player software


• Wait for new 60gb drive to come in


• Copy the backup off the work hdd onto the 60gb drive


• Return work drive
