SCSI HD replacement on Model 8556



Is there a listing of the procedure for replacing a SCSI drive for this 
machine. I would think it should be straightforward, but since this is a 
machine with an IML file (or whatever it's called) on disk I was 
wondering what needs to be done to transfer it to the new drive. This is 
a drive under 540Mg so ther are none of those problems to deal with. I 
understand the SCSI ID part fine and have no problems with any of the 
jumpering and cabeling. 




Simple enough, John: 

 1) Cold boot the system; 
 2) Hot reboot (<Ctrl><Alt><Delete>) and watch for the cursor to "jump" 
    to the right side of the screen; 
 3) Immediately press the <Ctrl><Alt><Insert> keys to access the IML 
    partition; 
 4) Use the utility present to copy the partition out to floppy disks; 
 5) Replace the drive with the new one; then, 
 6) Use the diskettes to "restore" the IML partition to the new drive; 
 7) Fdisk and Format as usual. 


 Hope this helps,
