Grub started right up - the boot sector was there all the time. Since I've been using the IDE controller on the motherboard, the conclusion is that the controller must have fried along with the original disk. I've been considering replacing the board/CPU anyway. I've got the installation completed, and would like to just move the drives onto another board. Here's the question: when I installed from the Fedora disks (no extensive configuration yet), did it do anything that would make swapping motherboards a problem? I expect to have pretty much the same memory, hard drives, video, etc - just the board and CPU will change. It was an AMD 1.15MHz, and I'll probably just go for a faster AMD processor - anyone think there are any "gotchas", or should I just forge ahead? -Don
