Hi all!<br>What about RAID? I've been reading on that recently, and thought it could be a good idea to set up on my home desktop. Can't help as to how to set it up though, I must study the question harder. But it may not exactly be what you're looking for Peter.

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">I had a bit of a shock yesterday, when for a ghastly
hour I thought I was going to lose my entire installation. OK, I have my
data backed up, but the thought of having to go back and install all the tools
I've installed and configured over the years was not making me happy (I'm
talking about things like Netbeans, Eclipse, subversion (no, it doesn't
work out of the box on a SUSE install), CASE tools, Zend and the Zend Server
that took me weeks to get working, Crossover Office and all the various Windows
bits I've installed with it under WINE, the OU VLE, browser extensions,
etc etc).</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Does anyone know of a tool that will take an image of
all my disk partitions (Linux and Windows), and the MBR, so that I could –
if I wanted – just slap in a new HDD and write the image to it such that
it would then boot up and I'd be back to normal?</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Fortunately, yesterday's problem seems to have
settled down at least. I'm not sure it's actually solved: at
least I'm not leaving my box on and unattended at the moment.
However, it worked OK for the last four hours or so of yesterday.</span></font></p>
