George,

I'm not going to go Raid immediately, that's for later.  I've ordered a WD
120GB drive w/8MB cache this morning from harddrive.com for $162.  If I get
it set up correctly, then I may get a second one and put them both on the
HPT channels.  I'm going to try putting the new drive on one channel of the
HPT for formatting and copying, then move it to the primary IDE master
position for booting and copying the other drives partitions.

There is only one SCSI device in my system, an HP9600+ CD R/W drive.  The
HPT370 is IDE.
