<The drive is growing errors... Each pass through the formatter <finds additional bad sectors, so I want to disable it and install/ It's crashed. Pull it. Swap the other into the box as they are interchangeable. Just match the external RD54s jumpers to the defunct internal one. <run Ultrix from the external drive (if it is easy) until I get <around to pulling the internal drive and replacing it. Otherwise, <I have to disassemble both boxes to swap the drives, which I would <prefer to avoid (because I'm lazy :) You'll look longer for the cables and if the VS2000 box does not have the cable adaptor section where will you plug it? A lot of the VS2000s didn't have the adaptor (2" bottom addotion), I know I have three that didn't so doing external cables/drives is a PITA. Allison
