Hi John. Maybe the best thing to do would be use the Gparted live CD partition editor, to boot directly off the CD, and then check there are no conflicts with your partition labels? If so you could edit the partition labels using Gparted (or a similar tool) without having to mount any of the hard drives? There are a lot of other partition tools mentioned on the Gparted page at: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.karsites.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] -----------------------------------------------------------------
